One more thought based on something I saw tonight...
I think it'd be worthwhile to force the units of space available and
space needed to be the same.
Instead of:
Additional filesystem space needed: 498.15 MB
Filesystem space available: 369.33 GB
I think this would be better as:
Additional filesystem space needed: 0.50 GB
Filesystem space available: 369.33 GB
Thoughts?
The user will often have free space measured in megabytes, but if we're
installing something that is only a few megabytes or less, rounding will
make the number 0 or very close to it.
So in your example above, for a single package, they might see 0.0X GB
which is not meaningful.
We could simply always display the number in megabytes, but that has
downsides too, especially if you run this on something with terabytes or
exabytes of available disk space :-)
