If you installed that then there should be no missing
dependencies. Remove all you manualy installed cruft, add the

apt-get. If there is any problem then something is wrong and needs to
be told.

PS: I know amd64-libs is missing depends on grep-dctrl and devscripts
so make sure you have them installed prior to amd64-archive.
