Package: gpsd
Version: 2.13-1
Severity: normal

The /dev/gps symlink gets erased and therefore gpsd with standard
options will silently fail.

My system runs a 2.6.11 kernel with udev (which as you know populates
dynamically the /dev filesystem).

Probably because of this the /dev/gps symlink gets erased.

Using the -p/dev/ttyS0 option fixes this.

Hope you find this report useful.

Thank you for your work as a mantainer for all of us.

Bob
