[Bug 367197] Re: gpsd depends on nonexistent /lib/udev/hotplug.functions

[Mark O]

Not sure what Ubuntu "did" to break this - looks more to me like udev
removed a function that gpsd and others were depending on. Perhaps the
dependencies weren't specified or tested well enough.

Anyway, 'nuff on finding blame, how best to fix? (I'm new to this). The
patch submitted by ESR (to put the wait_for_fille function into
gpsd.hotplug.wrapper directly) looks to me like a reasonable approach -
is this the sort of thing that a patch can be issued for until the fix
flows down from upstream?

This was reported by Phil Dubach, I've confirmed it on two of my systems
(both 9.04, one UNR, one kubuntu) and also had this issue on my 8.10
xubuntu though I applied a hack at the time to get around it. At what
point does someone update this bug status to confirmed , and how can I
help to move this forward?

OK, Just looked on the wiki and find that one of the steps before
confirming a bug is to check for duplicates. This report seems to
overlap with #112494 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112494) but that's
from way back so I'm not sure if standard practice says its OK to have
duplicates from vastly different versions?
