[Qgis-user] building gdal for mrsid

[Don Harter]

I was able to fix the dependencies  using info from this web page:

https://coderwall.com/p/hes3ha/change-the-dependencies-of-a-deb-package

In my archive though it was compressed using pzstd, and not all files 
were present.

this page gave info on the format of the debian control file:

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-binarydeps

Here is what my working control file looked like which fixed the 
dependency problems of my system:

Package: gdal
Priority: extra
Section: checkinstall
Installed-Size: 742008
Maintainer: root at lnx01
Architecture: amd64
Version: 3.4.3-1
Provides: gdal-bin (=3.4.3), libgdal30 (=3.4.3), libgdal-dev (=3.4.3)
Description: gdal with mrsid

Now I can update my ubuntu system and it doesn't think that it needs to 
be fixed.
