This bug was fixed in the package indicator-weather - 11.11.28-0ubuntu1.2 --- indicator-weather (11.11.28-0ubuntu1.2) precise-proposed; urgency=high * debian/postinst: Drop manually installation and compilation of gschema file. When built against = 2.32-1, python-distutils-extra automatically finds and installs the gschema file leading the postinst script to fail as it isn't where it expects it to be (LP: #1032887). indicator-weather (11.11.28-0ubuntu1.1) precise-proposed; urgency=low * debian/patches/dont_block_on_sun_times.patch: - If Earthtools.org is down, report 'Unknown' rather than blocking on sunset and sunrise times (LP: #964365). * debian/patches/fix_flurries.patch: - Fixes flurries condition being marked as 'Unknown' (LP: #928596). * debian/patches/fix_pid_checking.patch: - Correctly preform .pid file matching so we can restart after a crash (LP: #926433). -- Andrew Starr-Bochicchio a.star...@gmail.com Sat, 04 Aug 2012 10:40:24 -0400 ** Changed in: indicator-weather (Ubuntu Precise) Status: Fix Committed = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/926433 Title: indicator-weather refuses to start, saying Another instance of this program is already running when that is not true.

I have confirmed Neal's experience with the package failing to install, with the same error message. I can't quite work my head around what is happening but if you build a .deb from the new source, the file indicator-weather.gschema.xml is already located in the correct directory and so the copy in debian/postinst fails and is probably not needed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/926433 Title: indicator-weather refuses to start, saying Another instance of this program is already running when that is not true.

[Bug 926433] Re: indicator-weather refuses to start, saying Another instance of this program is already running when that is not true.
It seems that this bug has been fixed: $ killall -i -9 indicator-weather Signal indicator-weath(2503) ? (y/N) y $ cat /tmp/indicator-weather-1000.pid 2503 $ indicator-weather /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gobject/constants.py:24: Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion `g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed import gobject._gobject So there is still a complaint, but I think that's another bug. But the install was not smooth. I got these error messages during the apt-get update: Setting up indicator-weather (11.11.28-0ubuntu1.1) ... Installing indicator-specific icons...
