Probably a reference to the very early days of RPM (pre-yum).
You'd
install a package, then find some library was missing and go to install
that, which led to something else missing, etc. A few cycles of this and
you know what "dependency hell" means. Nowadays, with yum, all the
dependencies are pulled in automatically, so "rpm hell" is largely a
thing of the past.
Okay got it. I don't think saying it is worthy nowadays. But for an
end user this all won't matter anytime.
