None seem critical.
I would check that you have perl version 5.12.x installed. I still recommend running 'apt-get install build-essential' as that may upgrade other stuff such as make, dpkg, etc. Since you are building packages yourself you should have build-essential installed. You also need a multiarch aware version of the packaging tools installed! If you have python2.6 installed, which is highly likely, then I would also run 'apt-get upgrade python2.6' which will upgrade even more for you. You may need to run 'apt-get -f install' after each step above. At the end you should run 'apt-get upgrade' which will upgrade yet more of the system.
