Apt handles the dependencies. The dependency hell problem exists in RPM based systems.
Why does SuSE and other distros not use apt?
Conectiva does There are other tools that does the same job as apt, such as ximian's red carpet. My guess (and my fervent hope) is that it will be incorporated into the distro But note that any distribution tool is only as good as the packages it distributes. Even apt fails when they're broken, and if you don't believe me, live a few weeks with Debian sid. So desire a good tool like apt or red carpet, but above all, desire packages that aren't broken.
