The packages are in the dependency list. Only that they are not installed (under the name given in the dependency list) on my system. Nevertheless the build and install and some simple tests work well.

For perl(Error) you have explained why it works. For openssh-client I guess that things may be provided by packages named differently. This is probably only an issue with SuSE.
