when does one module affects another module while installing in odoo. I have a new module named jobs. after updating app list i tried to install jobs module. But there was validation error stating that i have to archive the data. After a bit research i found out the Jobs module had 'depends': ['base', 'hr','project','checklist'], in manifest.py thus i uninstalled the project module and then i installed JOBS module which ultimately lead to the project module being installed. 

I am confused how this happens and how the module showed error while installing. please i need help from the community.

depends in the manifest means that our current module is depending other external modules given in depends manifest file.

And if any of the module is not installed it will automatically install the depends module if present in the apps list.
