Thanks. Yes we figured this out thanks to Sergiu. But the two remaining questions are: * Why is the UI mentioning that some extensions will be removed and not that they will be reinstalled? For example: Administration Application. Maybe it’s because we list dependencies for extensions that are removed but not for extensions that are installed? If so, I think this is an inconsistency that we could improve, WDYT? * Couldn’t we display some indication that an extension is going to be installed as root? We do display when it’s in a given namespace, for example “‘in wiki Home” in the screenshot. Could we display “(root)” or “(in root)” for root namespace too? That would make it simpler to understand.
