I don't think any distribution has solved the dependency problem completely
yet.  Debian is easy if you stick with stable, unfortunately that means you
can't take advantage of recent developments.  It's also decent if you stick
with testing, at least that's my experience so far.  Mixing and matching
stable, testing, and unstable is possible but it can be difficult to resolve
dependency issues at times.
