Package: pytrainer
Version: 1.8.0-3
Severity: normal
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu oneiric

The pytrainer plugin for communicating with Garmin devices has a specific
version check for GPSBabel version 1.3.5.  This check makes it
impossible to communicate with Garmin devices with more recent versions
of GPSBabel.  Removing the check allows pytrainer to communicate with
gpsbabel and the garmin device.

This bug report was also filed in Ubuntu and can be found at
http://launchpad.net/bugs/694603
The description, from Frank, follows:

Binary package hint: pytrainer

Don't need device to reproduce this error:

Tools > GPS Device Plugins > Garmin via GPSBabel 1.3.5 > Preferences > Enable > OK > OK
File > Import from Garmin GPS Device (via GPSBabel)
Error: Must be using version 1.3.5 of GPSBabel for this plugin

Unless this can be patched with a simple version check, this package should require 1.3.5 as a dependency not the latest version.
