If you think dependency hell was bad in the 'bad old days' of RedHat (before apt and other dependency-managers); OpenBSD is worse. On OBSD, you (at least used to) have to *uninstall* dependent packages, before you could upgrade the package that they depended on. so for instance, if you wanted to upgrade Mozilla, you would have to uninstall the Galeon package first, then upgrade Mozilla, then recompile Galeon, then install that. as opposed to 'apt-get install galeon'. FreeBSD's ports system is somewhat better, but I have little experience with it.
