Bug Description

I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 x64 with all the latest system updates installed.

I guess this isn't a bug so much as a feature/improvement request:

Ubuntu Software Center does a good job of making things more convenient, but I often still install packages from the terminal because Software Center doesn't give you much information about the dependencies it needs to install, or if there are any conflicts. There must be a user-friendly way of presenting the user with all or most of the same information one would get when running `apt-get` or `aptitude`.
