browsing

Unmet dependency errors while browsing
Recently Discover has started to emit passiveNotifications about unmet
dependencies while browsing app lists. There are several problems here:
1. This is not appropriate or something the user needs to be burdened with
while browsing. At most, Discover should show an error message during
installation of the broken app, not anywhere else.
2. PassiveNotifications should be safely ignorable, e.g. for status updates.
These errors are not ignorable; they block installation and must be dealt with.
It is not appropriate to use a passiveNotification for these errors.
Solution:
- While browsing, don't show passiveNotifications about unmet dependencies
- When trying to install an app with broken dependencies, show a real modal
error pop-up with the full detailed message, so ensure that the user sees it
