Comment:

 Reading the ticket and @afragen's response, in this case the bug is indeed
 that the bulk actions checkbox is enabled.

 The feature as it currently stands prevents the deletion of a dependency
 until its dependents are deleted. That is, **Addon for Foo** must be
 deleted before **Foo** can be deleted.

 I'd like to separate the handling of this bug from the determination about
 whether this aspect of the feature stays in Core. A decision on that is
 likely to be part of an upcoming Core discussion on the feature, and I
 think it may be best to have the intended behaviour working as expected so
 that the discussion has accurate data to consider.

 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/6073 PR 6073] should
 ensure - for now at least - the intended behaviour. Please test.
