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?
