Some software depends on other software, so you have to select either both or neither. The reason is that otherwise the selections you made won't work anyway.
What houghi just described is the Curse of Unix. :*D

Why? I think it is a blessing. Say you have two programs. And they each need a third program to run. If you don't install those two, you won't install numver three.

The problem these days though is that you don't have 2 programs using 1 other program, but rather you have 1 program using 10 others, which in turn are using other programs.

And that's why SuSE doesn't offer major package upgrades; if one of those 10 breaks, the chain could fall apart and spit fire. It was simpler back then, with no updates and all. Nowadays, we get a new KDE version each week :P

(Yes, yes, I know, I don't *HAVE* to upgrade. But I want to :P)
