RPM reports the dependency as this..  openssh-askpass requires
openssh-clients.

Looking at the files included in the openssh-clients rpm, it includes its
own ssh-askpass.  And the openssh-askpass rpm seems to be completely an
Xwindows package.  Based on this, I think the dependency is probably
fictitious.

And to prove it, I removed -askpass (with --nodeps) and ssh client and
server still work just fine.
