dep hell may be better known for that, but it applies to everything
your distro builds that calls something else, for proof of this, I d/l
ldap and installed it on dev box, svn worked, wiped the VC so the

Thankfully most of our trunk accesses are  git, but tehres always that
one saingle mofo that wants svn :)
