Rather than use up2date, which is nice but only if you pay for it, try
apt-rpm:
APT-RPM is a port of Debian's apt tools to a RPM based distribution (Red Hat, Conectiva, SuSE etc). apt-get is an advanced package management utility front-end which allows you to easily perform package installation, upgrading and removal. Dependencies are automatically handled, so if you try to install a package that needs others to be installed, it will download all needed packages and install them.
