But why is --no-deps necessary? So far I have yet to hear any definitive, justifiable cases other than vague "I should be able to do whatever I want" reasoning. The problem with --no-deps is that once you've started, you can't stop (hrm...sounds like a pringles commercial). You've created a broken package graph on your system and it isn't reasonable to expect the package manager to be able to manage it any more.
