Hi Marcus, Thanks for your reply, but I'm afraid I still don't understand some of it. If the package is installed but the patch isn't, I thought I should see a green and white Z. What's the difference in these cases?

How can I see what doesn't satisfy the patch (Check says all dependencies are OK)?

Have I understood you correctly: As soon as there's an update to a package, it's no longer possible to debug it?
