- smallerfish 3y agoI haven't run into dependency hell in 15 years of using deb on Ubuntu.
- jacquesm 3y agoLucky you.
- loxias 3y agoI haven't had problems with dependency hell since the early 2000s. And even then, looking back, I'm entirely sure the problem was not in myself. You're possibly using it wrong.
- dschuetz 3y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_hell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_hell Seems like I am not alone. If the problem does not affect you much, does not mean it does not exist. Yeah, the usual "works for me" attitude has had never helped anyone. So, good for you.
- jandrese 3y agoDependency issues usually only appear on Ubuntu when you start adding third party repos, especially for software that has a version in the main repo. If you stick to the main repo you will basically never have them.
