If you're using SuSE 8.1, use YaST to uninstall - it does dependency checking.
I'm using SuSE 8.1. But YaST does not uninstall packages that are not needed anymore. It just checks the dependencies
YaST does seem to check dependencies when uninstalling. Try uninstalling perl, for exampl - you'll get loads of warnings about stuff that depends on it, with the option of uninstalling them, too. However, beware that, even if you say "cancel", it will leave the original package marked for deletion!
