Just use the same tool you used to install the old Buster gpsd to
uninstall it.

To debug segfault:

1. be sure gpsd is not being managed by systemd

2. As root:

killall gpsd

3. ass root

killall gpsd

4. as root, to ensure nothing grabbing the port::

netstat -apn | fgrep 2947

5. run gpsd with logs:

gpsd -nGD 6 /dev/ttyXX

6. screen past 30 seconds and post here.

Thanks, Gary.  Here's the story:

0. I removed the old version and rebooted.  The only two "gpsd" files 
remaining were:

 /etc/init.d/gpsd
 /etc/default/gpsd

Having added buster-backports I then ran:

 sudo apt-get install -t buster-backports gpsd gpsd-clients python-gps

This gave an error about python:

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

so I ran the install again without the python-gps.  I hope that was OK.  I 
left the /etc/defaults/gpsd unchanged.  The "obsolete" /etc/init.d/gpsd was 
removed by the install.





1.  I don't know how to do this.  I did try sudo service gpsd stop, which 
seemed to work, and ps -e | grep gps showed no process.

2. No process found.

3. No process found.

4.  netstat -apn | fgrep 2947
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:2947          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN 
1/init
tcp6       0      0 ::1:2947                :::*                    LISTEN 
1/init

5. pi@RasPi-3:~ $ sudo gpsd -nGD 6 /dev/ttyAMA0
Segmentation fault

6. I don't understand.  dmesg | grep gps  shows no messages.

Cheers,
David
