My mistake then :)

Note that contrarily to what is said there, a missing dependency does  
not deactivate a plugin -- the plugin will run nevertheless, but  
there will be less info in the KB. While in some cases it means the  
plugin will not run (ie: if it depends on a specific KB item), in  
most cases it will run fine.
For instance, the absence of the httpver.nasl plugin does not  
deactivate all the http-related plugins, they'll just assume that the  
remote web server is at least speaking HTTP/1.0.
