Can't run any application using PositionSource on desktop

[Michael Zanetti]

Using this example code:

--------------------------------
import QtQuick 2.2
import QtPositioning 5.1

Item {
    height: 500; width: 500

    PositionSource {}
}
------------------------------

crashes when started on desktop with the message:

Ubuntu Platform API: Unable to find module configuration file -- Aborting
Aborted (core dumped)

This affects all phone applications using Positioning. They can't be tested on the desktop atm. Each test run needs to happen on the phone, which slows down the app development process a lot.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This seems to be fixed now. At least it works now on my xenial desktop.
