Hi,

This question are really really frequent and the answers are far from being
trivial to grok. I am sure we lose a good share of potential contributors
at this exact moment when they need to resolve the "there are errors
everywhere" issue.
I think we really need a solution for it, that doesn't involve looking for
documentation or asking on the mailing-list.
IMO, the issue lays in PDE failing at being helpful to users in such cases:
users see the missing dependencies, but there is no quick-fix that help
users to remediate them. I suggest addition of a "Search from know
update-sites and add to target-platform" quick-fix:

Cheers,
