Let's make it clear: RPM does not resolve dependencies. Not for
install and not for uninstall.
Basically this means, that you should use Yast: it can remove unneeded

Thanks guys for the comments. I'm 95% sure that I can't do what I want to do
with rpm. I just wanted to make sure that there in fact ISN'T an option to
accomplish what I want.
