Description

The qgis/Dockerfile tries to download the "Processing Saga NextGen Provider" plugin from https://github.com/north-road/qgis-processing-saga-nextgen/archive/refs/heads/master.zip, but this repository has been deleted, causing the Docker build to fail with exit code 8.

wget -qO sagang_plugin.zip https://github.com/north-road/qgis-processing-saga-nextgen/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
unzip -q sagang_plugin.zip ...

The plugin has also been removed from plugins.qgis.org. Downstream repercussions are tracked in geocompx/geocompr#1181.

Fix: Remove the SAGA NextGen plugin download/install from the Dockerfile. SAGA itself is still installed via apt-get install saga, but the QGIS-SAGA bridge plugin is no longer available.
