Comps lists package groups, it does NOT handle dependencies in ANY WAY. it can be nice to sort things out so certain options will only get pulled in if something else is selected but otherwise you should not look to comps to handle depends at all. if you list the dependency problems on installing these packages it would be more helpful. -sv
