Trying to install a (small) package without (huge) dependencies, I used --nofollow option.


My intention was to make a small, "embedded" type system, so I mounted its HDD somewhere, and used --install-dist=somewhere,  with --nofollow as to install EXACTLY the package set I select. 

The --nofollow option was totally ignored , i.e. with a 90kB package I got 30 MB of dependency-marked packages installed.

Without --install-dist=xxx the option --nofollow seems to be working.
