Yo Bernd!

Thinking that is a very sound wild guess.  I believe at some point I did 
install python-gps trying to sort out the problems with xgps in scons 
check.  Plan to do a clean OS install soon and get a clean path for 
packages to install.  Like I said, this system is happy to be abused as 
required, it can be in a bad way as long as needed.
