(Get the code!)
Have you checked that other gpsd clients like cgps are working?
Try running foxtrotgps in a terminal, you should see this message:
connection to gpsd SUCCEEDED
You could also install foxtrotgps-dbgsym, load foxtrotgps in a debugger
like gdb, set a breakpoint for cb_gpsd_data, run foxtrotgps and step
over the libgps calls to see what happens when reading data.
I don't have a real GPS, but FoxtrotGPS is able to connect via gpsd to
a virtualgps and read data correctly on my system.

You might want to consider updating to a newer version of Debian if
possible. In addition FoxtrotGPS is not well maintained and will
probably be removed from Debian 13 because it needs porting to GTK 4
but no-one has been motivated enough to do it yet. So you might want
to look into alternatives that you could use instead.
