[Gllug] rpms is there an easier way?

FUD. Unless they're doing something I don't know about, the only reason
.deb packages install more seamlessly is that there's not the same huge
range of suppliers that there is with RPMs, and hence there's less scope
for naming conflicts.

If you're talking about automatically resolving dependencies, then
you're not talking about deb or RPM, but one of the many front ends
that are available. Use whichever one your distribution vendor supplies
(e.g., Red Hat has up2date, Connectiva and Debian have apt, etc.)
