Bug Description
Hi
Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid), GNOME 2.30.0
Time of sunrise for areas located beyond the Arctic Circle is incorrectly calculated. For example, to Murmansk (Russia), sunrise is not visible (???) in ClockApplet, but in WeatherApplet time does not correspond to reality.
It seems the problem is libgweather. Sunrise is correctly displayed only to south of the latitude of the Arctic Circle (66.56083°). Everything by North gives an error.
For example, (GNOME_ClockApplet) 2010-04-30:
lat 65,00000 sunrise 05:18
lat 66,56083 sunrise 05:14 (The Arctic Circle)
lat 67,00000 sunrise (???)
lat 68,96667 sunrise (???) (Murmansk)
Don't offend people of the Far North. We are a little and we are far away, but Ubuntu has reached us.
Sorry for poor English, thanks everyone

- Problem in libgweather + No sunrise time in the Arctic Circle |
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It looks like the original developer was aware of the problem because there is a note in the code telling that there is still work to do in the area. I think the problem lies more with the difficulty of doing the calculation right than laziness ;) Thanks!
