Hello,

while gpsd itself starts fine, it fails to provide time via the SHM
interface to ntpsec on armhf architecture.
Version 3.25-5+deb13u1 works fine.

Apart from ntpsec not picking up time from the configure shm segment as with
the working version (checking with ntpq -p), ipcs -m reports a shm segment size
of 80 bytes for version 3.27.5-0.1, while it is 96 for 3.25-5+deb13u1, and
also what ntpsec creates when started first.

Best regards,

Joerg
