Requires version 1.3.5 of GPSBabel, won't work with 1.4.0 in repository

[Frank]

Binary package hint: pytrainer

Don't need device to reproduce this error:

Tools > GPS Device Plugins > Garmin via GPSBabel 1.3.5 > Preferences > Enable > OK > OK
File > Import from Garmin GPS Device (via GPSBabel)
Error: Must be using version 1.3.5 of GPSBabel for this plugin

Unless this can be patched with a simple version check, this package should require 1.3.5 as a dependency not the latest version.

Changing the hard coded library version seems to work.

Testing this in natty is blocked by bug 695728.

I have applied the patch, but it don't seem to work here.

gpsbabel is started and the data is stored in /tmp/file.gtrnctr, but pytrainer do not import anything.

I have applied the patch and after resolving issues with permissions on the device gpsbabel was communicating with this seems to work. As I don't have any tracks on my GPS though I am not certain, but this certainly doesn't make the situation worse.

This bug was fixed in the package pytrainer - 1.8.0-3ubuntu1

---------------
pytrainer (1.8.0-3ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * No longer check gpsbabel version number in the code (LP: #694603) but
    depend on version >= 1.3.5 instead. Thanks to Xavier Bassery for the
    patch.

I just uploaded 1.8.0-4 with this patch included (but not the big cruft it includes, adding a .pc/ directory..:-))
