@inoki -- can you attach the contents of /etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf??

I have also had this problem since upgrading, and I think it's related to Geoclue's whitelisting. The redshift package should be editing /etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf to add a stanza like these:

[redshift]
allowed=true
system=false
users=

[gtk-redshift]
allowed=true
system=false
users=

With this in /etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf, Redshift gets a location on startup and works correctly.
