Package: libgweather-common
Version: 2.26.1-1
Severity: normal
Since the current Gnome weather applet apparently no longer lets you pick a
city and a location inside it, this is perhaps especially confusing.
(Apparently only airport names are listed now, not cities? E.g. "Flesland"
airport in Bergen, "Gardermoen" in Oslo, etc...)
When you live in Tromsø (in Northern Norway), you might know that your
airport's name is "Langnes". But the weather applet lists "Langenes",
which is quite different; among other things, it's the name of a rural
area in Southern Norway. How're us poor Northern Norway dwellers to
know that this really is our Tromsø "Langnes" Airport?
I've taken a look at the XML file and verified that yes, the coordinates
seem to be for a point just a bit south of Tromsø Langnes airport. So
I suggest you at least correct the spelling of this entry.
