Old description:
When you download a package from HaikuDepot that needs to download
additional dependencies the user is not given any indication on the
progress of downloading the dependencies. It seems HaikuDepot only gives
a progress indicator for the main package(s) that the user chose to
download and not their dependencies.
I expected there to be a 'Download Status' tab in the lower-half of the
HD window that would show such info.

Comment:
Recently, I've seen several videos (as well as some people on IRC/jabber)
where someone tried to install Qt apps (QupZilla, SMPlayer) which in turn
installed quite a few heavy dependencies. They were confused as HaikuDepot
didn't show that something was being installed and assumed that it froze,
closed Depot, reopened several times, rebooted. Needless to say that all
in all they were quite disappointed in Haiku as a whole (as well as people
who watched it) because "nothing is working and I can't even install
anything" -- they used revision with many broken packages due to libpng16
update.
Here is one of the videos

which I recommend everyone to watch to see what end users deal with.
I think this needs to be resolved before beta1 if we don't want to create
bad impression.
