Fixed the missing library issues.

However, transgui has a separate issue with a dormant bug,
exposed via the lazarus 4.6 upload.
Its trying to build a gtk2 version (the default),
while build depending on the Qt lcl.

 From build log;
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Info: (lazarus) Param[21]="-dLCLgtk2"
  ....
(3104) Compiling transgui.lpr
/build/reproducible-path/transgui-5.18.0+dfsg/transgui.lpr(37,3) Fatal: (10022) Can't find unit Interfaces used by transgui
Fatal: (1018) Compilation aborted

This is a bug in transgui.
Probably needs

|--ws=qt5 or ||--ws=qt6 adding to the lazbuild line in debian/rules|
