Description:
Even the file listing at https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/gpsd/files/ doesn't show xgps and xgpsspeed, but it does show their .desktop files. After installing the package gpsd, xgps and xgpsspeed are not on the system. File listing in pamac of gpsd, doesn't list xgpsspeed and xgps, again however their .desktop files are in the file list and do exist on the system, and are referencing xgps and xgpsspeed. Obviously since the referenced executables don't exist the .desktop files don't do anything. So either its a bug that the files don't exist (removed for some reason?), or its a bug that their .desktop files DO exist.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
gpsd-3.18.1-1 (referenced in pamac as "xgps" and "xgpsspeed")

* config and/or log files etc.

Steps to reproduce:
Simply install gpsd and "which xgps" or "which xgpsspeed" shows they doesn't exist. Then check /usr/share/applications to see that their .desktop files exist and are trying to load the missing executables.
This task depends upon
