Hi All,
    I compiled sysutils myself because procinfo complains that it needs to
be compiled to display all IRQs.  I unpacked the debian source file and
used debian/rules binary to make a binary.  When I installed the .deb using
dpkg (which happens without complaint and the programs work), apt-get starts 
complaining about broken dependencies.  What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Robert.

solzhenitsyn:~king/Linux/deb# apt-get check
Updating package file cache...done
Updating package status cache...done
Checking system integrity...dependency error
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
Sorry, but the following packages are broken - this means they have unmet
dependencies:
  sysutils: Depends:libc6 Depends:libncurses4

solzhenitsyn:~king/Linux/deb# dpkg -l sysutils perl libncurses4 libc6
