Bug Description

When deselecting and re-selecting packages for update, update-manager does not indicate that there are dependencies that require that other packages are also updated.

I deselected all packages and selected a single package for installing - a package that is dependent on the same version of another package.
Update manager still shows only the first package selected, and a total line of '1 package selected'.
When executing the update, all dependent packages are downloaded and installed (see screen shots).

Expected behaviour: When selecting a package for update, all other packages that have to be installed to satisfy the dependencies are also shown as selected, and the total line below the list correctly shows the number of packages that will be updated.
