More precisely, "--nodeps" means: "install, but don't tell me I haven't
met all required dependancies, count on me to take care of them!".

Then it installs things, counting on _you_ to take care of
dependancies... which is a bad idea if you don't know them perfectly.

I can't point you to a good documentation/program that will explain you
how to solve the dependancies problems, since I'm not using that
distribution, but I can tell you this is an option even experienced
users don't use often!

Don't worry too much: you only used it to install gm, so that won't have
too terrible consequences on your system...
