SKIP_DEPENDS=yes will generally not allow building a package. It is
really only intended for one use case -- I want to check out the sources
or apply a patch, so that I can test it on a separate build machine.
Runtime dependencies are in most cases also build dependencies, at least
for classic compiled programs.
