[Groundstation-user] how to update TLE from local files?

[Gernot H. <aik...@gm...>]

Hello all, I am first time user of gPredict, on Ubuntu (v.0.8) and on
Debian (using source-compiled v.0.9), the motivation being tracking of
the USA 139 satellite n its decaying orbit.

Unfortunately, I cannot seem to update the TLE files from "local
files" after I have added one from Mike McCann's site (classified one
unzipped). The program tells me it is skipping hundreds of satellites
and keeps showing me only the default 5. The log file shows me that
there is a supposed error in all the TLE file data:  original data
appears to be bad. So despite many TLE files in the gpredict
directory, I see only 5 satellites or so. How to access all the
others?

Is this a bug, or must I massage some other parameters when trying to
add or update TLE files?

Best regards and many thanks in advance for pointers.
