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.
