Answer 1

Generally the "depends on permission(s)" error means that you are attempting to give access to an object that is on the child side of a master-detail relationship.

For example, we have FFPSA installed which has the "skill set skills" object. This object is a junction object between "skill set" and "skill/certification". If you attempt to give permission to skill set it makes perfect sense for you to see that error. Instead, you should be giving them permission to the parent objects.

Update Based on Comments

That sounds like the profiles were set up, and then the application changed (possibly an upgrade) that modified the objects and settings essentially invalidating the permissions. When you go back to the profile to try to update it with something simple, you find out that all those permissions are no longer valid. I don't think that really changes the answer though. If you go back in and re-configure the perms for the profiles, you should be able to make the change you want to make.
