We use Clojure massively enough to have multiple issues with dependencies, including the fact that sometimes we need to build a new version of a library simple to build it with more recent versions of dependency X, for example. It is not that bad, much like I also don't think Python packaging bad. Other ecosystems have better solutions, though.
