Repaired cable, working beautifully as a time source again:

Only been running for a couple hours, but PPS came alive as soon as the 
repaired cable was plugged in.  No 1 second offset like I was concerned I 
had seen with just NMEA.

Line 404 of INSTALL.adoc:
apt install apt install gir1.2-gtk-3.0

Duplicate 'apt install' looks like a double paste.

Still having troubles with xgps, can't read the satellite info, and 
therefore doesn't generate the skymap.  Going to try and dive into the 
traceback and see if I can sort out what's going on, but that's the only 
part not working for me at this point, the core issue of the week rollover 
is well handled by the updated code in Garmin binary mode.
                                        Thanks,
