Sunset and sunrise time is incorrect north of the arctic circle

[Ader]

Binary package hint: indicator-weather

I live north of the arctic circle where we have midnight sun right now. The sun doesn't set for 2 months. The times for sunrise and sunset in the weather-indicator stay at 05:53 and 18:00 even though this is thoroughly incorrect.

In the new version of indicator we are switching to geonames.org to get sunrise/sunset info - their data is much more precise

This is already available in Oneiric in version 11.05.31

Sun rise and sun set time is off for Winnipeg as well. For October 1 2012 it is displaying
Sunrise 6.07 AM
Sunset 6:36 PM

Compare it with this website:

Sunrise: 7:29 AM
Sunset: 7:06 PM

Which I would say is pretty accurate.
