starshipeleven there are also different kinds of dependency hells. Depending on the library or binary there can also be functionality dependency hells. If you have been compiling from source for a given set of time from a given distributions release date and you start to decide you must have xx.x version of a certain app which happens to be quite a bit newer considering the versions of the libraries it calls for and you must absolutely have that app version then you can have a total cluster f*** getting stuff to work. Usually easier just to wait for the next distributions release or to go with a more hip rolling distro.
There can also be package management dependency hell's which is another story but far less time consuming.
When I think of dependency hell, as true dependency hell? It's is when you're compiling a lot of software from source, manually on your own with no automation crap. As I can remember per my own memories with slackware.
