When you manually install an rpm in SuSE, you by-pass YaSTs limited dependency handling abilities.
Use YaST to install your rpm. If the dependencies can be satisfied from installation media, YaST will tell you which cd/dvd to put in the drive.
There are two ways to go about using YaST to install rpms not on the installation media.
1) Go into Yast software 'change source' , and add the path to the downloaded file. Then go to installation, and you should see the rpms in that path listed along with the files on media. Select to new file to install, and if dependencies can be satisfied from media, you will be prompted for the media to put in the drive.
2) Open your file manager. Find the downloaded file and left click on it. You should be prompted "Install using Yast?" (a button, I beleive). Click on that to install the file. Again, if dependencies can be met from installation media, you should be prompted.
Note: if you persist in installing rpms manually, always run /sbin/SuSEconfig to update things YaST keeps track of. Otherwise, YaST will ignore manually installed rpms. Ignore, as in: won't update; won't patch; etc.
