Package gps-0.8.1-10 causes errors on startup and on shutdown because: (1) /etc/init.d/rgpsp has a typo (tries to return '?$' instead of '$?') (2) on startup, gps launches subsystem rgpsp_linux instead of just rgpsp Suggested fix: (1) edit /etc/init.d/rgpsp to return '$?' (2) ln -s rgpsp_linux /etc/init.d/rgpsp
The Red Hat gnome-utils package does not come with gps - you must have either downloaded it and installed, or gotten your gnome-utils from another source (Helix?). You may send a bug report to the maintainer of Gps at: http://gps.seul.org/

Suggested fix (2) above should read ln -s rgpsp /etc/init.d/rgpsp_linux
Ah - powertools. My apologies, you are correct. Assigning.
FWIW, problem #1 was fixed(it's in rawhide). For problem #2 I am going to rename rgpsp to rgpsp_linux to avoid having symlinks in /etc/init.d. You should see the updated package in rawhide the next time rawhide is updated with both of these fixes. Tim
