 Well, it's that, or you have a broken system when you get the
dependencies wrong :o)

 Seriously, it's the only sensible approach.  I *would* like to see
some more tools for package handling, but there's no serious obstacle
to using the command line.

 Each time there's a dependency missing, *add* it to the command line
instead of trying to install it separately.  For example, the problem
with the rpm upgrade was solved by including all the rpm packages and
the popt and python-popt packages together in one "rpm -Uvh" command.
The "problem" with trying to install one of the packages was due to
trying to use "rpm -i" instead of "rpm -U" ...

 It's not rocket science.
