Nope. "Handling dependencies just fine" means automatically downloading the depended-on packages, like apt-get does

The application manager does exactly this.

as well as making sure that package repositories are complete and consistent.

How exactly should an application running on a random user's device fix bugs in a package repository run by Nokia?

Messages indicating missing dependencies are bugs, either in the software or in the package repository.

Bingo. As I said above, the repository seems to have some issues.
