Bug Description
The provider which libmateweather was using was shut down in August.
We need to update libmateweather in Xenial to new upstream micro release, 1.12.2, which switched to a new METAR data provider.
Impact: this affects all libmateweather-
Test Case: make sure Weather applet in mate-applets is able to display weather information.

For libmateweather, issue is fixed in 1.14.1, but I think I'll apply the patch from https:/ /bugzilla. gnome.org/ 770321 (by Frank Dana) as well. It enables https and switches to the recommended method of data retrieval (as described in http:// www.aviationwea ther.gov/ dataserver/ bestpractices).
