It doesn't exist at all.  I do have a file /usr/share/gweather/Locations=20
that does not contain XML, but some other data format.

As of the most recent unstable version, the location list list is back (I=
=20
did another purge/install just to start clean), but it simply won't fetch=
=20
weather data.  There's no firewall or proxy.  I've tried several different=
=20
US locations and none get any info.

I'm wondering if this is related to the fact that iwin is migrating over=20
to a new format/URLs/etc.  Regardless, it looks like the original bug (no=
=20
locations available) has disappeared.

I'd rather not upgade to experimental at the moment ;)
