Exactly for these reasons I wrote to use the "--nodeps" RPM option in the README.
In long term ( next SuSE release ) these packages need to be fixed, but for now ( Update packages for SuSE-9.2 ) the xorg rpms should still provide these old dependencies.
The xorg-x11 package sources are from the next release we currently are working on. The no longer used requires xf86/xdevel/xshared have been fixed in the according packages. I don't plan to reintroduce them again. I want to get rid of them ...
As workaround I've rebuild the rpms from sources with an adapted spec file ( added xf86, xdevel, xshared to Provides section) . When doing that, the source rpm also complained about depending on "ghostscript-mini" which isn't provided by the ghostscript-x11 installation. Fixed that with replacing "ghostscript-mini" by "ghostscript" in the spec file but the better solution will be fixing ghostscript.
The ghostscript-mini RPM exists since SuSE 8.2. So this shouldn't be a problem if it is installed on your system.
