   Sigh. You misunderstand.   
      
   I'm telling you that YaST will not oversee what you do. If you decide to   
   remove ruby it will not tell you that this will destroy yast.   
      
   You are god, you *must* know what you are doing.

   Of course it doesn't. You fulfilled the dependencies (deleting ruby), so   
   as far as YaST is concerned, everything is correct. Shoot your own foot,   
   not my problem. You know what you are doing, you are my god.   
      
   You don't like it? Go ahead, tell the YaST devs. We told them similar   
   things decades ago, they are not going to change...   
      
   Linux is not as forgiving as Windows. You *must* know what you do.

   Well, if you insist on fighting the system, shit happens.
