The geany-locales extension has the dep file only installing geany.  I will fix it.  It is not an issue with the package manager.  Same with xfe.

EDIT: Fixed.

Dependency resolution is not recursive, that is it does not fetch deps of deps, just the deps listed in the dep files.  That keeps the process faster and simpler.
