Package: libgps17 Version: 2.38-1 Severity: normal
I am using the BU-353 USB GPS units on numerous machines of various architectures. The specific machine that I have debugged this on is an armel. After an upgrade to 2.38 this GPS stopped working. The symptom is no output from GPSD, either using one of the supplied client programs, or via telnet. Downgrading the gpsd package to 2.37 did not fix the problem. I then downgraded libgps17 to 2.37 and now all is back to normal. Before downgrading to 2.37 I tried upgrading to 2.39, since the gpsd changelogs mention breakage in 2.38. 2.39 acted the same as 2.38 for me. Running gpsd in foreground mode with debug level=2 did not reveal anything useful - 2.37 and 2.38 debug messages look about the same. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libgps17 depends on: ii libc6 2.9-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 libgps17 recommends no packages. libgps17 suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
