Asked by SoloTurn

funny enough, with ubuntu-14.04, when installing konqueror, it installs the ruby programming language with it (!) can one avoid such dependencies somehow?

Well, dolphin (another package grouped with konqueror) recommends ruby.
Try:
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends konqueror

If ^that doesn't work, then the answer is probably no (at least not in a relatively sane/easy way).

the funny thing is that it is not in the recommends list:
