I think of two reasons why you would want to ignore dependencies:
1) time to install all the dependencies
2) space need to install all the dependencies
Are there others ?
3. The dependency information is plain wrong
That is bug so file the bug.
Sure that doesn't help in the short term.
4. You want package A but not package B that it depends on. (Or packages
C, D, E, F... that get pulled in.) Am I managing the system, or is the system
managing me?
Why would you want that if A really does depend on B,... ?
Isn't this just another case of 3 ?
5. The dependency graph become so dense and knotted that it's impossible
to make any changes. And, yes, I've seen this several times.
I don't really understand what you mean by that.
