Description of problem: The digikam rpm pulls in kdeedu-marble-libs rpm which pull in gpsd which hogs USB serial ports (bug 752923). Can it be made to depend on a subset of the marble libraries - one which doesn't depend on gpsd? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): digikam-1.9.0-2.fc15.x86_64
Possibly the gpsd package should be split to have the libraries separate.
No gpsd installed on F16 with digikam-2.3.0, kipi-plugins-2.3.0 and marble-4.7.3.
marble does provide this via a plugin, /usr/lib64/kde4/plugins/marble/GpsdPositionProviderPlugin.so Though I'd much rather not complicate digikam/marble packaging if this could be solved more simply in gpsd packaging, if that's possible.
I think splitting gpsd is probably the right thing to do (bug 752939). Possibly that has already been done for F-16.
gpsd-libs added in gpsd-2.95-7.fc16 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=255691 but not in gpsd-2.95-6.fc15 which is now in F15 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=224325
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
