Here is the upstream bug, which includes the same patch mentioned above: https://github.com/mate-desktop/libmateweather/issues/31.
Note that I also had to patch some timezone data to get the version of libmateweather in Jessie to compile. See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=839341. -- Matt Horan m...@matthoran.com http://matthoran.com/
