Is there at least some way to say "yes, go ahead and install these dependencies, but stop trying to install random unwanted software on my system?"
For people like me, and apparently you, too many openSUSE packages suggest or recommend other packages with tenuous connection to the requested package. To combat the problem, in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf I put:
solver.onlyRequires = true
Whether YaST pays attention to it in the same way as zypper I don't know. I mostly only use YaST to search for packages that zypper searches cannot find, and do the installing with zypper.
Got halfway to that realization on my own (followup message where I mention that it seems to be a yast thing). Thanks to both you (Felix) and Cristian for pointing out possible ways to stop the problem.
