About dependencies

If software B must be installed for software A to run, software A is dependent on software B, and software B is a dependency of software A. Dependencies and their dependent software may be products, components, or packages.

When you start to remove a piece of software, the Software Manager notifies you of dependent components or packages if they exist. You can then choose whether to continue or to cancel the removal procedure.
