Try using synaptic, the gui for apt. You will need to install both apt
and synaptic. You can get the packages from
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/apt/ and
http://dag.wieers.com/packages/synaptic/.  If you are running FC3, I
highly recommend that you install the beta version of smart (Smart
Package Manager, http://smartpm.org).  smart in gui mode is a very
good tool for working out dependency issues.
