Bug Description
According to Update Manager, ISC DHCP Client and "Common files used by all the isc-dhcp* packages" are part of the FreeCAD package, which I get from the FreeCAD Daily PPA:
$ cat /etc/apt/
deb http://
# deb-src http://
If I simulate a freecad upgrade with apt-get, there's no mention of ISC DHCP. As far as I can tell, ISC DHCP does not have anything to do with FreeCAD, as it shouldn't, so this appears to be a bug in Update Manager.
I've attached a screenshot showing what this looks like in Update Manager.

- Update Manager structures updates wrong + Update Manager package grouping wrong |
Marking confirmed based on your screenshot, there seems to be something wrong here. (And also also seen similar issues myself in the past.)
I found some other bugs which are also related to grouping of updates, see bug 1237277 and bug 1214218 for details. In both cases, the "parent" package originates from a PPA, but I don't know if this is the underlying reason or not, so I don't feel comfortable marking this as a duplicate. Might be worth investigating, though.
