The dependences are not correctly checked.
rpm will check against other installed RPMs,
dpkg checks against installed DEBs.
If you want the dependance checking system to work correctly you
must use one installation system only, and it is much better
to use dpkg (.DEBs) because 1) it is much better then rpm, 2) it is the
default of Debian.
