that's not how dependencies work, really!

you may have installed other packages in the meantime sharing some deps 
where a part of them was already pulled by the program you have 
installed and uninstall *then* would remove both and all shared 
dependencies in the chain

rpm dependencies are really straight forwarded

otherwise that below would not be possible on a machine installed 2011 
with Fedora 13 after 8 dist-upgrades

[root at srv-rhsoft:~]$ rpm -qa | wc -l
1535

[root at srv-rhsoft:~]$ rpm -qa | grep kde | wc -l
45
