They are probably there but registered with another name. On SuSE 7.3: rpm -qa | grep tex: te_etex-1.0.7-319 tetex-latex-heb-1.0-3 te_latex-1.0.7-285 tetex-1.0.7-285 The problem is that the dependencies built into the .rpm are for RedHat packages, and naming differs between RedHat and SuSE. If you have teTeX installed you should not encounter any problems when using --nodeps.
