apt-get is also in Fedora (yum install apt), so is synaptic, both for a
very long time. The dependency resolver cannot do much about conflicts and
broken dependencies in the packages. The Smart Packager Manager (yum
install smart) tries to find work-arounds, such as downgrades and
automatic excludes, but it isn't bullet-proof either.
