[opensuse] unsermake: wrong dependencies?

Hello,

When I uninstall unsermake with Yast it complains about dependency conflics
with kde-devel packages. On the other hand some apps cannot be compiled as
long as unsermake is installed, because automake is needed. I had both
installed here, but I had to uninstall unsermake first (ignoring
dependencies) to make the compile successful.

Gilles, developper of digikam, wrote:
"Like unsermake must be an automake program (fully compatible in fact), this
depency is a non-sence."
(http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/digikam-users/2006-November/002413.html)

Is there any reason, why Yast insists on these dependencies or are they
obsolete, and if so, could they be removed in future? *

kind regards

Daniel

* It's no problem to ignore the conflicts warning, but whenever installing
just anything, Yast will automatically re-install unsermake due to the
dependencies. It's just a little bit annoying, especially when I forget to
de-install it again every time...
