Package: gpsd
Version: 2.13-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
gpsd is heavily dependent on /etc/protocols file. If that one does not
exist GPSD will not start and will not produce adequate error to correct
the missing file without using strace.
It would be fine if this is noted during the installation of deb
package.
Example:
WarPad:~# gpsd -D1000
gpsd: launching (Version 2.13)
gpsd: Can't get "tcp" protocol entry.
gpsd: startup failed, netlib error -1
WarPad:~# strace gpsd -D1000
