Those might be bugs. libgps has several symlinks to it, which should
also be properly set up in the same directory. Not having any Raspberry
Pi hardware, I can't volunteer to do check it out.

As for the lack of linking to libgps, I can confirm that for cgps as of
mid November 2019 (commit b82f38b5785f551131e6d671cca94fe0cdc13365) and
for the debian version on Buster, 3.17-7.

I appreciate the bottom posting, which is a major improvement on
Windows email client defaults. Short of you getting a better email
client, I guess I will have to live with that.

Charles,

3.17 is where this all started, and the need for 3.20 for configuring with 
the ubxtool (as opposed to hex strings) and the improved cgps showing the 
constellations active.  Could be bugs, but it means that a more careful 
check may be needed after an apt remove & purge.

I have Thunderbird for newsgroups, so one day I will need to try an import, 
but with about 2 GB of e-mail I wonder both how long it might take, and how 
successful it might be.  The standard Windows-10 mail client apparently has 
no import facility!

Cheers,
David
