Public bug reported:
The manual page of gpsd states
When a device is activated (i.e. a client requests data from it), gpsd
attempts to execute a hook from /etc/gpsd/device-hook with first command line
argument set to the pathname of the
device and the second to ACTIVATE. On deactivation it does the same
passing DEACTIVATE for the second argument.
and when such an executable is present, the debug info/log of gpsd
indicates that /etc/gpsd/device-hook is being called and exits with
state 0. However, this is a lie.
I assume that there is a suitable line missing in
/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.gpsd
but my apparmor-foo is not sufficient to figure out what incantation is
required to allow gpsd executing this hook.
