SuSE has ... unnecessary dependencies.
And more with every new release it seems. I use grep and sed in a shell script to strip the source rpm spec files down to essential dependencies, then compile from source. It takes time, but I like everything compiled from source (and i686 optimized), plus I can mix updated packages from 9.2 with my 9.0 system / 2.4 kernel. My login prompt even says Welcome to SuSE 9.x Anyone know what version of gcc will be in suse 9.3? gcc 3.3.x is unreliable with -O3, but gcc 3.4.x seems to produce correct output at -O3, for what I have tested so far.
