Hell dependency is a colloquial term for the frustration of some software users who have installed software packages that are dependent on certain versions of other software packages.
Dependency issues appear around shared packages or libraries where some other packages have dependencies but where they depend on different and incompatible versions of different packages. If shared packages or libraries can only be installed in one version, the user may need to resolve the issue by obtaining a newer or older version of the dependency package. This, in turn, can damage other dependencies and push issues into other packet packages.
