Description John Bowler 2018-09-21 23:16:44 UTC

/usr/bin/xgps is a Python 2.7 script, the ebuild does record compatibility as Python 2.7, however the script itself is '#!/usr/bin/python".

On current ~x86_64 default systems (and maybe x86_64) where Python 3.6 is the default implementation the script fails at:

import gps

because the gps.py module is not present in 3.6.  The module belongs to the gpsd package but is only installed /usr/lib/python2.7.

I fixed it by changing the script #! to /usr/bin/python2.7

    sci-geosciences/gpsd: fix xgps python shebangs
    
    The logic to pull the python scripts out misses the dynamic xps
    scripts leading them to not be wrapped as Python 2-specific.
