I discovered that dependencies of modules I specify in my installation profile's .info file will not automatically be installed during the installation process. It then becomes impossible to enable those modules after the fact thanks to the module form's disabled checkbox. I had to update my installation profile to manually specify the dependency, in this case Entity Metadata for Rules.

The .info file with the entity_metadata dependency commented out:

info-file

The resultant modules page showing the snafu:

modules-page

No, it is unrelated to that issue.

However, I think it may be duplicate with this one: #898654: Required modules not installed before optional modules

@rszrama, can you confirm that this is no longer an issue in your situation with the latest D7? I just tried a quick test of it now, by adding dependencies[] = forum to the minimal install profile and confirming that other modules which Forum depends on (such as Taxonomy) seemed to be automatically installed as well.

Indeed, it's no longer an issue. Forgot I posted this (obviously). : P
