Other than the usual RTFM suggestions and windows bashing, how about
using yum or synaptic?
I personally have used synaptic for some time (not on mdk though, fc,
debian and ubuntu and admittedly, not very long. I'm addicted to
gentoo and portage), and found it to be *so* much better than using
rpm. (I would like to start some rpm bashing here, but I'm excercising
extreme restraint).

RPM is similar level tool to dpkg. If doesnt do automatic dependency resolving. You will have to use a layer on top of it which does that. Use the right tool . Up2date does that . APT has been ported to RPM and has been available for a number of years though it currently doesnt have any active development on it. If you are using Fedora, yum (along with yum-utils) is pretty much an equivalent thing. If you are using Mandrake, urpmi I guess would be the right choice here
