noting that `sudo` is no fix (more below)?

Thanks! 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

I thought the fix might be to run as root, but that also failed
(but quickly):

So how to fix the /usr/local/lib/python2.x/dist-packages/osgeo fails?
