Yes, that is the problem, but he doesn't would execute rpm in the
command line in order to see what dependency fails.

The YaST graphic abstraction (launched when click in RPM file) doesn't
informs about dependencies.  rpmfind.net is one way to obtain
information about dependencies.  I.e.:
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/sourceforge/k/kr/krusader/krusader-1.40_beta1-=
1.tmk.i586.html

Then he must look (with YaST)  your installed program list in order to
know what required program is not installed.  Then is possible that
the new RPM need another RPM... and counting.
