gpsd-clients package unmet dependencies in Raspbian 11 Bullseye

Question

gpsd-clients package unmet dependencies in Raspbian 11 Bullseye

nm527 opened this issue 2 years ago · 4 comments

The gpsd installation fails on Raspbian 11 because gpsd-clients package is not available. (Renamed perhaps?)

Built on Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Rev 1.1 using:
Raspberry Pi OS Lite 32-bit, Kernel version: 5.15, Debian version: 11 (bullseye)

Works perfectly with one small change to line 52.

Line 52 reads:
sudo apt-get -y install gpsd gpsd-clients;

It works if line 52 is modified to read:
sudo apt-get -y install gpsd;

thank you for the hint, but are you shure the package does not exists?
i still can install it on a RPi Zero.

Description: Global Positioning System - clients
 The gpsd service daemon can monitor one or more GPS devices connected to
 a host computer, making all data on the location and movements of the
 sensors available to be queried on TCP port 2947.
 .
 This package contains auxiliary tools and example clients for monitoring,
 testing, latency-profiling, device configuration and simulating gpsd.

PS.: the package gpsd-clients is not mandatory, it is only important, if you use things like `xgps``or gpsd in python

Be aware that gpsd, at least my release:

gpsd: 3.23.2~dev (revision release-3.23.1-80-g821fd1b8c)

Will stop working if it loses lock on too many satellites (used birds drops to zero), and won't come back without 'service gpsd restart' I haven't dared to try to upgrade gpsd to the latest release (3.24?) as I don't have a good backup, and I'm afraid of breaking everything. Soon... And yes, one should ensure that the GPS antenna is in a location that this'll never happen, but that's not always possible.

My mistake. It does exist! Interestingly, earlier this morning a manual install attempt of gpsd-clients results in unmet dependencies as shown below. However just now, a fresh apt update and now it will install.

Thank you both for your input. I'll chalk this up to the newness of the release and no fault of this project. Thank you both for your comments.

no problem, good to hear that it works.

PS.: in the meantime i flashed the Raspi OS Lite image from 2022-09-22 to a SD-card and run this project with no issues.
