The problem is that Ubuntu pulls packages from Debian without testing them. gpsd
works well in Debian, udev still includes the mentioned function, while it was
removed in Ubuntu in udev version 141. So All I can do is to blame Ubuntu. If
they change stuff which breaks packages they autosync (or even touch to "fix"
other things), they need to handle these changes in all packages. Otherwise they
should just take the versions from Debian.

The

gpsd will be autosynced from Debian again very soon, and I'll upload a package
with that fix within the next days, so it will be taken care of soon. Not sure
why I'm always wasting my time to work around Ubuntu weirdness.
