Bug Description

qapt-deb-installer informs about the necessity to install extra packages based on dependencies and points out the number of them, but lacks information about which are they.

this would be very nice feature to have, in particular I think it would fit best in the tab "details" that qapt-deb-installer already has.

I installed RC version from Experimental ppa and I found an issue on muon-notifier, which cannot be installed because of a dependency with ubuntu-release-upgrader-qt.

Beyond letting you know about the specific issue, this made me realize of another possible improvement for qapt-deb-installer , to add more info about unresolved dependencies that make a deb package unable to be installed. So far it informs about the issue but it doesn't say what specific problem has been found (i.e. the concrete deb packages that cannot be installed).

It is somehow related to this bug but it's not completely the same so I'm wondering whether I should fill another bug...
