Editing a debian binary for dependencies

1. mv prog_name.deb prog_name.deb.orig

2. mkdir prog_name.tmp

3. dpkg-deb --extract prog_name.deb.orig prog_name.tmp

4. dpkg-deb --control prog_name.deb.orig prog_name.tmp/DEBIAN
# Now use your favorite editor to edit the Depends line as required:

5. vi prog_name.tmp/DEBIAN/control
6. dpkg --build prog_name.tmp
7. mv prog_name.tmp.deb prog_name.deb
