Yes, the debian linux distribution has that ability.
It automaticly checks dependency's, and downloads them together with the
needed packages, It also uninstalls, and checks dependency's during
uninstall.
It can also automaticly upgrade the whole system.
It can also install rpm packages (although the dependency check is a bit
messed up in this case, due to incomapatabilitys so you have to be
carefull)
