Basically, I was trying to say that if Jolla Store client can do it and
command line pkcon can do it (i.e. automatically install dependencies)
then Warehouse can do it too. If Warehouse doesn't do it, it's the
choice made by the creator of the app. I pulled the sources and haven't
found anything there about the dependencies.
One thing that I learned today: The PackageKit currently used by
Sailfish OS (version 0.8.something + a few patches) has D-Bus method
called GetDepends. However the smart upstream guys have renamed it into
DependsOn:
https://github.com/hughsie/PackageKit/commit/e590ed91
(backward compatibility? what's that? never heard of it!) meaning that
Warehouse should try both methods to make sure that it works with future
versions of PackageKit. Right now it doesn't seem to do anything.
Cheers,

I don't think this has anything to do with "pkcon refresh".
I constantly keep running into reports from users where the dependencies
cannot be found and the solution always is "pkcon refresh". As far as I
know that happens both with OpenRepos + Warehouse and the manual way you
describe. Please try to do something about this, it's annoying to tell
users they need developer mode and command line just to install an RPM.
