None of the official slackpacks include this! this makes the slackware one a bit unstable for dependency checking at this time. I am sure solaris has one, but i can't remember the name, and i have heard of others with more funny names that do a similar job.
In short, most mature systems have some sort of automatic tool that will install your dependencies transparently over the network so not to worry.
