Charles, et alia:
The main reason I remarked about the version I had was because Gary
had pointed out the version I had was some three years old. Whilst I
am happy with whatever version will work, I just was saying that I did
look into it and the maintainer for gpsd at Debian is going to try to
push the newer version forward. I realize I could recompile from
source, but I do not plan to do that unless someone presents a
compelling case as to why I would need to.
Do you use chrony? How did you get chrony to talk to your GPS? I think
what I need are the right lines in chrony's configuration to make the
GPS be heard to chrony as a source.

Is there any reason 3.25 won't work and you need 3.26? I run the
packaged 3.25-5 on my trixie laptop, and it does the job just fine with
my (ancient) Ublox 8 receiver.
Another thing you can do is grab the source and compile for yourself. I
would check out the latest tagged release first, as there is often a
lot of experimental stuff in HEAD. The only down side is that if the
API version has changed from 3.25, you will have to recompile client
applications as well.
