home compiled sysutils has broken dependency
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.

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
