this is ok, since fso-gpsd is usually started before fso-frameworkd.

Hmm, frameworkd's ogpsd implements the gypsy interface.

Please read the output of `fso-gpsd -h`. You might also want to
set "log_level = DEBUG" for ogpsd in frameworkd.conf.

And there were some gps related bug fixes around 2 weeks ago. So
in case you don't already have a recent frameworkd, install an up to
date version from git. Maybe we should update the debian package as
well? Joachim?
