Thanks for that, Dave.  The problem I see is that you have to remember to do 
this for each repo you add, and if you forget then you can't transfer a DVD 
of the packages because the dependencies will be wrong.

LOL - I can't believe a GUI tickbox for this is still missing - people have 
been asking for it for the past couple of years, and the old YaST had it.  
Smart still rules, then.
