I just tried both 11.11.28-0ubuntu1.2 and 12.07.30-precise1, and they both still give an error "forecast information cannot be fetched" when trying to see the forcast.

The site that it pulls sunrise and sunset times from is down. It does not gracefully handle this. It blocks trying to refresh and can also crash with an AttributeError. [TESTCASE] Run indicator-weather from precise. If you have never run it before, it will not show any weather information at all. If you've run it in the past the old information will remain. Click refresh. With the version in precise, it will say "Refreshing, please wait..." indefinitely. Install the version from precise-proposed. Running it should now both show weather information if this is your first time running it as well as successfully refresh. [Regression Potential] There is very little regression potential. The biggest issue is that we have no idea if or when earthtools.org will be back up, so sunrise and sunset times will be listed as "Unknown" for the foreseeable future. This is still much better than it not working at all. --- I'm not sure what causes it, but the indicator seems to crash frequently (1-2 times per day) and, from what I can tell, randomly. I haven't been able to pinpoint the cause, but notice that it seems to happen after entering screensaver mode. I'm not sure if that's completely true or just when I happen to notice it's missing.
