I hate package management so much. I hate installing unnecessary cruft to get a box with what I want on it.
It makes me pine for tarballs built on boxes w/ compilers installed and deployed directly onto the filesystem of the target machines.
Edit: I'd love to see package management abstracted to a set of interfaces so I could use my OS package manager for all of the bespoke package management that every programming language seems hell-bent on re-implementing.

RPM "solved" it too.
