Most likely, yes.  Welcome to package management. This is what we were talking about earlier; the package management tools are really good and do wonderful things like find all the needed dependencies for a package that you install.  In some cases, that can be many-many packages depending on the complexity.  All you need to worry about is the thing you want, and let the system do the rest. :-)
