Package: redshift
Version: 1.9.1-4
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I tried to use Redshift and it asked for package `geoclue` for providing
location. I installed it and launched redshift again (through console) and it
tried to use geoclue to find location - without success. The only way to use
redshift is to uninstall geoclue package and to set location manually. Redshift
installed from debian stretch sources seems to work fine, maybe fix could be
ported from there.
Here's the output from when I tried to start it within console.
===============
jan@acer-aspire-debian:~$ redshift
Trying location provider `geoclue'...
Started Geoclue provider `Geoclue Master'.
Using provider `geoclue'.
Could not get location: xmlNanoHTTPMethod did not get a response from
http://api.hostip.info/
..
Could not retrieve location from provider.
Yours,
Jan

Yes. The version in Jessie does not support Geoclue. That version had broken
Geoclue support upstream itself. The only viable option in that case is to, as
you mentioned, specify the co-ordinates manually.
I'm closing this bug report because there's nothing we can do for that version
in Jessie other than recommending users to upgrade to Stretch.
