I'm encountering similar crashes every few days.

Below is a stack-trace (and previous warning) for one such crash:

According to https://launchpad.net/weather-indicator :

 Latest version is 11.05.31
 ...
released on 2011-05-30

I don't see how there is a new release fixing this issue.

It is, by now, my impression that toda intentionally tries to mark weather-indicator bugs as fixed which are actually not. This is now the fourth such incident, all pertaining to weather-indicator, over a course of roughly a month, which I have witnessed directly (I bet I'm only seeing the tip of the iceberg because I'm only subscribed to few of these bugs).

Toda: please make a statement on this.

It seems like I'm unable to roll back this change, so I hope someone else can take action.

Fixed in 13.05.17, if you can reproduce please reopen or file a new bug.
