I'm not sure if this was a deliberate design decision, though I
personally like it. On the other hand, I suspect that some users won't
like it because they're used to seeing a report about missing
dependencies. So I think we should make this behavior optional.
Yeah. Ideally we'd show what we're going to do, before we do it.
This is a bit more complex than before, as the solver might decide to
remove or upgrade packages, rather than just install extra ones.
The attached patch is a start in that direction. But it needs a
followup patch to implement the mechanism for selecting the option. One
possibility is a checkbox on the chooser page, which then gets saved in
setup.rc as a user option. Are there other suggestions?
But, somewhat confused by this. Isn't this just going to show the
(empty) problem report?
