If the solver found no problems but added packages to resolve

If they answer Yes, go back to the chooser with the 'Pending' view
selected. The implementation adds several new members to the
PrereqChecker class so that the latter can communicate with the
chooser page.
Would it not be better, quicker, and easier, and to just show the updated
Pending view directly and unconditionally, without another popup dialogue box?
I think that's what most of us would expect from a UI display: just update the
displayed packages, if not being asked for confirmation that we really want to
do something possibly detrimental.
Yes, I think you're right, in principle. But I'm not sure exactly what
the UI should do. If we simply update the displayed packages when the
user selects 'Next', won't the user wonder what's going on? Can you
suggest a way to make it clear that we've updated the display to reflect
added dependencies and that we're waiting for final confirmation?
