This should be unnecessary as libgdal-dev is an alternative and
libgdal1-1.3.2-dev provides it.

"apt-get build-dep .." seems to be broken in this regard. It looks like
it will do the right thing, then aborts:

[8:25am] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> sudo apt-get build-dep xastir
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package libgdal1-1.3.1-dev is not available, but is referred to by another 
package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  libgdal1-1.3.2-dev
Note, selecting libgdal1-1.3.2-dev instead of libgdal-dev
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libgdal1-1.3.1
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libgdal1-1.3.2 libgdal1-1.3.2-dev
0 upgraded, 2 newly installed, 1 to remove and 50 not upgraded.
E: Package libgdal1-1.3.1-dev has no installation candidate
E: Failed to process build dependencies

No improvement if I remove libgdal1-1.3.1 manually first.
