While open-source software has enabled significant levels of reuse to speed up software development, it has also given rise to the dreadful dependency hell that all software practitioners face on a regular basis. This article provides a catalogue of dependency-related challenges that come with relying on OSS packages or libraries. The catalogue is based on a review of the abundant scientific literature on empirical research that has been conducted to understand, quantify and overcome these challenges. Our results can be used as a starting point for junior and senior researchers as well as practitioners that would like to learn more about research advances in dealing with the challenges that come with the dependency networks of large OSS package registries.
