I had  a similar problem installing what I built on the pi running 
realtime stretch when I went to install what I had built, following your 
instructions that use dpkg-buildpackage. When I ran apt to install those 
dependencies, I wound up with a downgrade of an already installed 
package.  apt recommended a --fix-broken, which apparently completed the 
removal of the updated package, then finished the install, and linuxcnc 
is running normally now.

I found a realtime-buster and put it on a card about 1:30 ago, and it 
booted to a text login but without finding either the keyboard or the 
mouse, so that u-sd is in my pocket, waiting the RealtimePi to finish a 
buster conversion, but I already know the video will still crawl as it 
downgrading the buster 4.19.50 kernel to a 4.14.114, which I do not 
think has the new video drivers in it kit.  We'll see in 2 or 3 hours 
when thats done.  If it doesn't bail out early because the ssd went 
read-only.  That faint knocking sound? Yup. :) Its probably warming up 
the pi some too as I see by the build.log, that make was issued with 
a -j4 argument.

Like me. But I'm actually building on the pi, and I'm not hiding it, if 
it works I have zero objections to shareing what works here.

I'm not doing much to a git clone except setting the ARCH=arm. For my 
purposes I could probably strip it (the buster image) to half the size 
it is now by making modules out of stuff I don't use here. I don't use 
any sound and wifi is disabled too to keep the neighbors out. I don't 
think they are doing it on purpose but they've used as much as 80G one 
month before I disabled it in dd-wrt, and I can't bridge to anyplace but 
my own net from the pi.  And I don't need to setup iptables on every 
machine to keep the curious from snooping.

Take care Seb.
