> Where do you think the phrase ''rpm hell' came from?
"RPM hell", or the problem of having overly-complicated package dependency trees, is a derivation from the Windows issue of "DLL hell", the problem of applications not adaquately sharing their shared libraries. Both are problems with upgrading.
However, neither has any relevance to the Ubuntu situation -- where the package's dependencies were correct, and shared libraries were built correctly, but the software was just outright buggy.
