I just updated numpy and python-dateutil, but int he progress were also shown pandas and matplotlib, did not appeare in the confirmation dialog. I feels really really bad because conda-manager may be doing unwanted things on my back;

One thing I like in synaptics package manager is that it shows a console displaying stdout and strerr of the install process. This is reassuring because I see the progress as if I did it manually in the console. Since you can't interact with thte package list during install anyway, it could be replaces by the conole output. Note that it doesn't suppress the initial issue., it just lowers it's effect (and is an improvement in itself, I think)

this is by design. an intermediate step would be to check the actions when clicking on apply and displaying the actual packages to be installed. conda is so slow that my concern is the waiting time of that action.

Maybe a 2-step verification ? First display what the user selected, then what will be modified. If the additionnal packages are added to the window asynchronousely (while the suer checks that what he asked is correct).

In the meantime, there has to be a warning that additionnal modification may be applied to satisfy the dependancies. Right now the changes are completely hidden and for me it's really bad.
