I don't really care how you classify this issue, although to me the current
behavior doesn't seem desirable, so I would classify it as a problem. But if
you think it is a request for improvement, so be it, whatever.

I don't have a problem with the list with checkboxes to select which updates to
install. I have a problem with what is presented to the user once the update
process starts. The way the update process is presented, depending on
circumstances, can be incomprehensible. *That* is the problem.

Why do you present the updates? (No, this is not a suggestion to not show the
updates.)
I do like to see what is happening, which packages are being downloaded and
installed. I don't like when I have like a dozen packages being downloaded and
installed, and they are presented as a list that is constantly re-shuffled like
60 times per second.
