[Ubuntu] Package Updating - Need Help

[Alex Mandel]

So I got stuck -
GDAL requires freexl, and I can't seem to get debuild or
dpkg-buildpackge to work.

Log is attached.

I followed the same procedure as GDAL which I have succesfully pushed to
launchpad. But it won't build on launchpad because it's waiting for
freexl. It did work in my ppa initially because I used launchpad to copy
oneiric1 packages over, but those have the wrong package names.

Any ideas?

I'm getting a similar error on QGIS too, though I realize I need to
finish getting freexl, gdal, and possibly GRASS done 1st.

Thanks,
Alex
