Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [ticket:47459 dersh@…]:
 > I have geoclue 0.12.99_4 installed.  It depends on gpsd.  I had gpsd
 3.11_0 installed, but it just upgraded to 3.14_0.  However, after that
 upgrade macports finds that geoclue is a broken port

 Oh dear. We are using a patch in the gpsd port to set the library's
 `install_name` but we're setting it to the same value as the
 `current_version` and the `compatibility_version` which is almost
 certainly wrong.

 Oh dear. That sounds like the API has changed between 3.11 and 3.14 which
 would be an unfortunate contravention of the usual meaning of the version
 numbering. The [http://www.catb.org/gpsd/hacking.html#reports
 documentation] still says "Your packet parser is also responsible for
 setting the `tag` field in the `gps_data_t` structure" so if the `tag`
 field has now been removed from the `gps_data_t` structure then the
 documentation is also out of date.
