James, I also think that the PMT is operating as expected, in that it is ignoring the dependencies of the module you are trying to install, stahnma-epel v1.0.2. --ignore-dependencies does not tell it to ignore dependencies of already installed modules.
I believe the behavior you're looking for is is in the --force flag, which will install the module, regardless of the dependencies of other modules. As you might guess, you should be careful with --force.
