I also utilized a database query for the bucket associated with this
crash to check the dependencies for the libgweather version of crashes
reported in June of 2017. This is the result:
1030 examined.
{u'3.24.0-0ubuntu2': 1029}
So the new version does seem to fix the linked crash.

Bug description:
Impact
======
Memory corruption in libgweather caused gnome-shell to crash. This is
particularly bad for GNOME on Wayland as a gnome-shell crash will causes the
user to lose their sessions.
(GNOME Shell 3.24 introduced a new weather feature in the clock menu.)
This particular error has been reported over 1000 times to
errors.ubuntu.com from Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 and was also a Fedora 26
blocker bug.
Test Case
=========
The number of crashes reported on errors.ubuntu.com for gnome-shell should be
significantly lower once this new version of libgweather rolls out.
Because e.u.com links this issue with gnome-shell, this is difficult
to verify except that if you run gnome-shell, it shouldn't crash so
often especially when first logging in.
Regression Potential
====================
The main new commit here had already been cherry-picked by Fedora and in
Ubuntu 17.10 Alpha. Considering the previous
The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding
