[FSO] GPS-problems / tangogps in testing-feed broken

Hi,

(I'm mailing to this list because I don't know where to post bug reports
targetting the package-management in the fso-{testing,unstable}-feeds.
Is trac.freesmartphone.org the right place?)

My problem: I'm experiencing problems with GPS since an upgrade with the
fso-testing-feed.

After the upgrade neither tangogps (tangogps-fso_0.9.2-r1) nor zhone
(0.0.0+gitr69e029bd85a1caaad4e5d61087836a8e1ea20dcc-r8) are getting a
fix which hadn't been such a problem before (same outdoors place as
before, rather grey weather conditions but not entirely clouded, 30 mins
waiting). 

One problem definitely is that tangogps throwing two TypeErrors which
show that it's having trouble with the dbus-interface[1].

Has there been a change in the dbus-interface which hasn't been followed
in the packages? Is this part of the yesterday on this list mentioned
"major frameworkd changes"[3]? If yes: How comes they're in the
testing-feed (would expect them in unstable, if at all)?


zhone only tells "gps ok"[2], so I don't know if it's suffering from the
same problem or just having a bad time with the available gps data.

As the weather is quite bad ATM, I cannot debug further. It might also
be that zhone and agpsui (didn't know there's a fso-compatible version
until a few minutes ago) would show a fix once the sky is clear again
(probably next april... :/), but the tangogps-error probably should be
taken care of.


Anybody else having problems?


Thanks and Greetings, 
 /Ben
