Bug#969747: fixed in xfce4-weather-plugin 0.10.1-1
Control: fixed -1 0.10.1-1
Control: merge -1 970259
Hi Alexis & FX,
It is normal that xfce4-weather-plugin 0.8.10-1 does not work anymore.
See Jiff bug report #970259 for explanations.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=970259
Above report propose a patch & an unofficial .deb. I did not try any of them.
You can fix xfce4-weather-plugi by upgrading to 0.10.1-1 (current version in Bullseye)
You can't install Bullseye binary .deb due to dependencies (as Alexis reported).
But you can compile it from source:
https://packages.debian.org/source/bullseye/xfce4-weather-plugin
I did it and plugin works in Buster.
However even 0.10.1-1 will stop working in a few months as it says
'Met.no LocationforecastLTS API states that this version
of the webservice is deprecated, and the plugin needs to be
adapted to use a newer version, or it will stop working within
a few months.
Please file a bug on https://bugzilla.xfce.org if no one
else has done so yet.'
Unfortunately so far even upstream does not provide an update as
'Latest Release
0.10.0 (2019/08/11)
xfce4-weather-plugin-0.10.0.tar.bz2'
https://docs.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin#latest_release
