Sorry, I don't have a debian etch machine. So I can't compile explicit etch 
packages. FOr some time the testing packages worked on both etch and sid. But 
just recently the boost libs in testing changed from 1.33 to 1.34. And now 
the gpsdrive-packages are compiled against the new Versions. So the compiled 
Version won't run with the old libraries.
If anyone has a debian-etch machine, where I or we can compile the package I 
can try to set up a seperate repository for etch too.
Or (for now) you can simply try to compile it on your own machine. Simply do 
a "svn co" or "svn up" of the http://svn.gpsdrive.cc/gpsdrive/trunk 
directory. and call "debuild --binary" from the main directory. Some minutes 
later you should have a debian package containing the current svn snapshot.

This is the new debian-testing dependency

These are currently not really needed.

Sorry this package currently is not completely working. But we're working to 
get it fixed.
