I will provide a libgpsXX package with the next upstream version of gpsd, 2.34. This is not going to go into Etch, though. In the meantime, I tightened the dependency of gpsd-clients on gpsd to 'gpsd (>=2.33), gpsd (<< 2.34)'. Is this an acceptable solution? And more to the point, would this change make it into Etch? Otherwise, I will add an appropriate conflict in version 2.34. The updated package is at <http://www.subnetz.org/~til/gpsd/>. Other changes targeted for Etch include debconf translation updates and an added, previously missing build dependency on autotools-dev. These changes are in 2.33-5 (already in Sid) and 2.33-6 (to be uploaded); Etch currently has 2.33-4. If you agree with these changes, I'll ask my sponsor to upload, and will follow up on debian-release to get gpsd hinted into Etch. Cheers, Til
