geoclue was already installed for me and so geoclue-hostip was added. The consequence was that I couldn't start redshift at all, and even uninstalling didn't help. Totally hosed the setup.

In the end the fix is to make redshift not use geoclue at all until Ubuntu fix that package. Use 'redshift -l list' to see a list of other providers it can use. I'm using 'redshift -l gnome-clock' which works perfectly.
