Package: geoclue-2.0 Version: 2.5.2-1 Followup-For: Bug #924516 Dear Maintainer,
This issue still present in a new Debian 10 'Buster' release. Privacy settings in gnome desktop environment ignored. While, "Settings -> All Settings -> Privacy -> Location Services" set to "OFF", package 'geoclue-2.0' ignores settings and continues to send requests via networking stack to identify hosts geographical location. Could some one from Dabien security team review this bug and hopefully provide a work around to stop 'geoclue-2.0' from contacting remote services over the network, tracing the hosts geo-location? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
