Improve wording of unmet dependencies warning #6357

What was the end-user or developer problem that led to this PR?

I noticed some small grammar problems in the unmet dependencies warning while working on #6355

What is your fix for the problem, implemented in this PR?

trying to manually editing doesn't seem quite grammatically correct. We could change it to trying to manually edit (is that a split infinitive?), but I don't think trying to adds much here so I've removed it instead so editing is the verb.

For the list of dependencies, the wording before this commit seemed to reverse the dependency. "B, depended on A" sounds like B depends on A (or did in the past but doesn't anymore?), but that's not correct. I think there's a missing word: "B, depended on by A", but I find "B, dependency of A" a bit nicer.

Make sure the following tasks are checked

`trying to manually editing` doesn't seem quite grammatically
correct. We could change it to `trying to manually edit` (is that a
