In all cases, dependency hell is still faced by the repository maintainers.

On specific computing platforms, "dependency hell" often goes by a local specific name, generally the name of components.

Dependency hell takes several forms:

Hidden dependency, a relation where a change in one area of a program produces unexpected side-effects, kind of dependency hell.

In these systems, complex relationships between different packages requiring different versions of libraries results in a challenge colloquially known as "dependency hell".

Extension conflict - A form of dependency hell occurring on older versions of Mac OS.

They could be seperate apps, but then enter "dependency hell" when you have to be running different version numbers between different apps.

This eliminates dependency hell for software packaged in those repositories, which are typically maintained by the Linux distribution provider and mirrored worldwide.

DLL hell - A form of dependency hell occurring on Microsoft Windows.

This avoids dependency problems, known colloquially as DLL Hell or more generally dependency hell.

In order to address issues of dependency hell the Semantic Versioning scheme has been proposed and developers can follow this scheme to help them manage their dependencies.

This was an original distinguishing characteristic of apt-based package management systems whereby software installation failure due to missing dependencies, a type of dependency hell, was specifically avoided.

Circular dependencies among mutually dependent RPMs (so-called "dependency hell") can be problematic; in such cases a single installation command needs to specify all the relevant packages.

This convention is aimed to decrease confusion about where binary programs reside, remove the possibility of a package breaking if system libraries are upgraded or changed, and prevent dependency hell.

The issue of dependency hell may be regarded as an anti-pattern, where the fault lies less with the suppliers of the products than with the framework into which they have to fit.
