Unless it has been updated (highly possible) I do not recall a prompt
for confirmation of specific packages and actions.  As I recall, it
simply went on and did its thing once the package selection was made and
the "do it" button was clicked.  It has after all been about a year
since I used it and found it not to my liking.
Pup, OTOH, seems more user friendly in this regard.

I believe the OP said he did not get a prompt for confirmation.
