No, I think what the message indicates, is that it is looking for the
dependency information (I suspect in the default file for shlibdeps) and
can't find what it needs. I believe that the default file only has libc5,
ncurses and some xlib things. You will need to add the desired dependency
information to /etc/dpkg/shlibs.default if I am not mistaken.
