[Bug 468915] [NEW] package gpsd 2.39-5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10

[Walter_Wittel]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gpsd

Got the same errors during the (worst upgrade I have ever experienced)
jaunty->karmic upgrade process. I tried a reinstall from Synaptic and
got same errors:

The configuration must at least specify either a device that gpsd should
connect to, or a control socket (using the -F option). USB autodetection
requires /var/run/gpsd.sock as control socket.

Here is my old /etc/default/gpsd file (still there):

# Default settings for gpsd.
# Please do not edit this file directly - use `dpkg-reconfigure gpsd' to
# change the options.
START_DAEMON="true"
DAEMON_OPTS=""
DEVICES="/dev/ttyUSB0"
USBAUTO="true"

apt-cache policy gpsd reports:
