The good news is, I didn't hafta pull from experimental: http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gdal/ > gdal-bin_1.9.0-3+b1_amd64.deb 25-Jun-2012 09:03 325K ... > gdal_1.9.0-3.dsc 05-Jun-2012 15:47 2.2K Even better, I didn't need an uplevel libfontconfig1! and I only had to touch my sources.list once, to get libsqlite3-dev version=3.7.13-1! So the build was *almost* painless, except ... 1 It was a slog ... the kind of loonnnggg build that induces anxiety about the size of one's /tmp, about vulnerabilities to one's electrical grid, about the impending heat death of the universe :-) But such is life, when building on an older laptop. 2 After fiddling with the build dependencies, me@it:/tmp/gdal$ dget --build http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gdal/gdal_1.9.0-3.dsc failed with > error: could not create '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/osgeo': > Permission denied ... > error: could not create '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/osgeo': > Permission denied > make[1]: *** [install] Error 1 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/gdal/gdal-1.9.0/swig/python' > make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2 > dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 I thought the fix might be to run as root, but that also failed (but quickly): me@it:/tmp/gdal$ sudo dget --build http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gdal/gdal_1.9.0-3.dsc > dget: retrieving > http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gdal/gdal_1.9.0-3.dsc ... > dscverify: gdal_1.9.0-3.dsc failed signature check: > gpg: keyblock resource `/root/.gnupg/secring.gpg': file open error > gpg: Signature made Tue 05 Jun 2012 09:24:57 AM EDT using DSA key ID E9F2C747 > gpg: fatal: /root/.gnupg: directory does not exist! > secmem usage: 1408/1408 bytes in 2/2 blocks of pool 1408/32768 > Validation FAILED!! So how to fix the /usr/local/lib/python2.x/dist-packages/osgeo fails?
