RE: Newly built / installed gpsd reporting address already in use

[Stein, Josh]

Hi Gary,

  Did the systemd configs happen due to a choice I made in the install process, 
or is it a side-effect to debian 10?

Yo Josh!

You accidently sent it to me, not the list.  Followups to the list please.

Yes, good that you follow instructions!  :-)

But when we get to debugging, git head can receive fixes in minutes.

No one expects the Spammish Intuition!

And, the smoking gun, systemd(umb) in the middle:

And systemd(umber) did not find your /dev/ttyUSB0 either:

I hate sysstemd(umbest), so my suggestion is that you remove gpsd from under 
its control.  I refuse to use systemd(rool) so if you want to use it to run 
gpsd someone else will have to help with that.
