Comment (by knutsp):

 Replying to [ticket:60472 desrosj]:
 > Follow up to #22316/[57545].
 >
 > In `validate_plugin_requirements()`, a new error message was added that
 is displayed in certain scenarios when plugin dependencies are unmet.
 >
 > > <strong>Error:</strong> %s requires plugins that are not installed or
 activated.
 >
 > There's no clear call to action here. At a minimum there should be a
 link to the Plugins page.
 >
 > I think the wording could also be improved. Here are a few suggestions:
 > - `%s` has unmet requirements and cannot be activated.
 > - `%s` requires the following plugins to be active: %%plugin%%
 > - `%s` cannot be activated unless the following plugins are installed
 and activated: %%list of plugins%%
