Hi Bernd,

I'll describe what I did (hopefully the correct order / steps / etc.):

gpsd was running so I killed it and then ran dpkg --configure --pending and it looks like it succeeded (dpkg-configure.txt in the attached zipped file).

I then ran:
walter@waltld7:~$ sudo strace -vfF -o /tmp/gpsd.strace /usr/sbin/gpsd -D 2 -N -F /var/run/gpsd.sock -P /var/run/gpsd.pid

gpsd seemed to be running, and I could plug my GPS (Pharos GPS-500 SIRF III) and from the terminal it seemed to detect and connect, but produced "gpsd: Satellite data no good (3 of 3)." errors. I had (after some learning curve to get it configured) had this working under jaunty.

I unplugged the GPS and typed ctrl-c to stop (gpsd.strace in attached file). Also Road Map 1.2.1 didn't seem to be able to get any useful GPS data from the device (not in attached strace), but i have not recompiled that application since upgrading to karmic and maybe there is something else unrelated going on.

I also added the output of cat /proc/mounts (proc-mounts.txt) to the attached zip file.

Hopefully this will help you figure out what happened during the upgrade. I would be happy to try more stuff if would be helpful or perhaps fix the unrelated problem I seem to have with my Pharos GPS. Thanks once again! Walter
