Hi,

I have the following situation (for sure not optimal, but I need it like this):
- Have Novell Client Installed. For this to work, I needed some symlinks and
had to install some of the provided RPMs with --nodeps -> so far so good.

whenever Yast now detects that 'something(tm) is missing' (like when I go to
Remote Administration, and activate it, wheras before it was not active) it is
going to pull in the required packages (which is desired) BUT also will remove
my installation of Novell Client, as not all dependencies of it are satisfied.

This is completely not desired and the PM should not touch dependencies which
have nothing to do with it's current task (installing vnc in this example).
