Thanks for the report.

There is a (pre-existing) bug in setup, which means in unattended mode it does
not correctly advance from the prerequisite checking stage when a required
dependency of an installed package is not installed.

I've only managed to trigger this using -M rather than -q (as that should
automatically select all dependencies?), but the missing dependency you
mention makes me think this is the same bug.

I do have a patch to address this, but I haven't had time recently to clean it
up and submit it.
