Of course not !
You have to install at same time all the depending packages.
Eg 'ispell-en' depends on 'ispell', but 'ispell' depends on at least
one ispell dictionnary (well, the new ispell on Cooker does that);
so you install them as 'rpm -Uvh ispell-xyz.rpm ispell-en-xyz.rpm'
Using --nodeps or --force are last ressort solutions; only to be used
when YOU REALLY KNOW what you are doing, as you can completly destroy
your system doing that (ever tryed 'rpm -e --nodeps glibc' :) )
