Comment 6 for bug 423629

Because I suck, and failed to add all pertinent information... The DAEMON_OPTS was always empty (from initial install of jaunty).... The only thing I edited was the DEVICES line and that was after my attempts to upgrade; ie: after upgrading to the Beta version. I don't recall what was in the DEVICES line prior to me changing it (I have two usb serial type devices and wanted to avoid gpsd finding the wrong one).

This problem doesn't seem to affect the running of gpsd itself, rather it causes more of a problem for upgrading packages which have gpsd as a requirement.
