When using --verbose together with --ask (e.g. dist --ask upgrade --verbose) dist fails with the following error:

Do you want to proceed [Y/n] Error: No such file or directory - --verbose

It is helpful to see how many packages have been already or still need to be installed when multiple packages are installed. A colorful title indicating the progress as a fraction could be displayed, e.g.

=== [4/13]: Installing/Upgrading qt5 ===

Related to #3.

When installing/upgrading multiple packages at once (including their dependencies), show the progress as simple numbers in the title bar along the name of the current package, e.g. [5/21]: qt5

A tree could be displayed before installing or upgrading several packages to see their relations. This could be optional via a flag like --tree.

Long lines (wider than terminal width) should wrap instead of being trimmed even when not using verbose output.

See Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#22969 and Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#34154

Instead of showing the Caveats after each package which can be overseen when using verbose output the output should be accumulated until the end of the install/upgrade phase and shown at once with headlines indicating to which package the message belongs.
