Bug Description

Binary package hint: indicator-weather

I installed indicator-weather today.
After starting it and choosing my settings, it hanged during confirmation; so I terminated the program.
I made some retries, with no success. Now the program does not start.

Traceback from terminal:

Terminating the program during saving settings was a bad idea.
Here is a quick fix for this - you just need to clear up your settings. Go to ~/.local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html, select 'weatherindicator' DB and click 'Delete Database...'. Then restart the indicator and set it up

The bug should be left as confirmed, as the indicator should clean up settings, if they are somehow got corrupted
