xfce4-weather-plugin stopped updating and displaying weather data

[Nikola M]

Few days ago, xfce-weather-plugin stopped displaying weather data.
I am on Xubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-bit (amd64).
I use weather applet every day and it is much better then on Gnome and i truly miss its functioinality.

If I could assist by any means of fixing this bug, please ask me for additional info.
ubuntu-bug was unable to start and report bugs also due to unknown reason nere at me.

Thank you for reporting this issue. This is known upstream, with no developers available at this time to re-write the plugin.

The xfce4-weather-plugin is now broken. It will remain broken until a
change to the plugin is made or a new plugin written. The cause of
the breakage was a change in weather.com XML Data Feed used for the
weather data. Since this plugin was included in Xubuntu 11.10 and worked
until the end of October 2011, this will probably result in several bug
reports and complaints being generated.

The issue is explained in
http://mail.xfce.org/pipermail/goodies-dev/2011-October/003139.html .

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Is it possible to install patched package in Oneiric?

[Lionel Le Folgoc (mrpouit)]

Similar patch uploaded to oneiric-proposed, waiting for approval.

[Lionel Le Folgoc (mrpouit)]

Uploaded to {natty,maverick}-proposed as well. Lucid and hardy packages will follow later.

[Lionel Le Folgoc (mrpouit)]

Uploaded to lucid-proposed too (support for hardy desktop installs stopped six months ago, and anyway any hardy chroot I create seems to be broken…).

jean-philippe, can you be more specific? Packages were pushed in to -proposed
for 4 releases today, so the best thing you could do is run

apt-cache policy xfce4-weather-plugin

And paste the output here.
