Had also a lot of missing dependencies showing up initially, but chose
"ignore for now" initially, then clicked "check dependencies" and all was
fine, and continued to click OK to finish.

I've already installed the 169.07 drivers' version throught yast and nvidia
repository.

Now¸if I try to update the same (bigsmp) driver to 169.09 with YAST :

Solution 2: Ignore this requirement just here

Any ideas? Is it a solution to ignore a requirement even in this case?

You can "Ignore requirement just here" and immediately afterwards check again for dependencies and all is fine. "Here" yast does not do a thorough check of the dependencies, but if you do a thorough check, immediately thereafter all is good.
