I don't have many ideas about what can be wrong, to be honest.

If it's a problem with packages not being available in the mirror,
perhaps you can use others temporarily, and disable other
repositories.

If this still doesn't solve the problem, you can take a look to the
holds (dpkg --get-selections / apt), as the message says, to see if
there is something in the chain that prevents the installation of
libgdal.so.etc or libgdali.

Or you can try to install libgdali by hand, maybe the error is more clear then.


Cheers.
