maybe tar.gz package is OK~~

if you wanna persist use this way to install, change your symbol link for some lib
but i am not sure the software can work.
OR
final solve is update your lib to new version and then install the software

dpkg doesn't handle dependencies, it's job is installing and uninstalling single packages. Dependencies are taken care of by apt, so you need to use apt-get if you want it to take care of everything. If you want to install something manually with dpkg, you also have to hunt down the dependencies manually.
