I've never used Yast2 but from Geoffrey's description below it sounds 
like Mandrake's urpmi works about the same 'urpmi some-package' will go 
find 'some-package' and all of their dependencies and get 'em installed. 
The only real pain in the butt is finding good, stable and up-to-date 
RPM repositories to feed to urpmi.addmedia.
