Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

When adding Blythe, California as a weather calendar, the wrong data is retrieved. The data retrieved is for Salem, Oregon.

In the file /usr/share/evolution-data-server-1.10/weather/Locations.xml on line 56 Blythe is linked to weather station code SLE. SLE is Salem, Oregon. The weather station code for Blythe, California is BLH.

Editing this file to replace SLE with BLH does not correct the problem (I assume the url also needs to be corrected, but have no clue what the correct url would be), but instead causes the program to crash whenever it's restarted, which required me to delete the entire ~/.gconf/app/evolution folder and start over to get evolution to restart.

I'm using version 2.10.1 on Ubuntu 7.04.

Just to update, I have found the correct URL and successfully modified my file to get the correct data.

For reference, the line for Blythe, California needs to read

type="ccf" code="BLH" url="http://www.crh.noaa.gov/data/PSR/CCFPSR"
