As it was in -testing I figured it was a work-in-progress and looked to other things... The unmet dependencies were: #### begin ############# The following packages have unmet dependencies: minigpsd: Depends: bluez-utils-test but it is not installable Depends: python2.5-gnome but it is not installable E: Broken packages #### end ############### As for a proposed project, it may be easiest to gin up a patch against gpsd, adding support for liblocation. I'd be curious which NMEA sentences liblocation spits out. If it just passes along what it receives, that would be great. thx, Jason.
