Bug Description

I installed indicator-weather from the Unstable PPA. The version currently installed is 11.02.13+bzr200~maverick1. When I try running it from the terminal I get the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/indicator-weather", line 1529, in <module>
    wi = indicator_weather()

Based on the last line of this error, I searched for /home/krnekhelesh/.cache/indicator-weather.pid however it is not there...although .pid is process so I might be wrong...New to ubuntu...

Looks like a problem in python-couchdb.

Please post the output of the following commands:
cat /etc/issue
apt-cache policy couchdb python-couchdb

This will show ubuntu version and couchdb server and client versions

Pushed a probable fix in bzr203 version in unstable PPA.
If it will crash, it is supposed to happen on 'Quit' menu action only

I tried the bzr203 version and it works...Indicator weather starts up. However when I click the quit menu item it does not quit...but stays on the indicator menu.

Yes, it is a problem in python-couchdb - see http://code.google.com/p/couchdb-python/issues/detail?id=141
The only 'real' fix is updating python-couchdb to a more recent version - e.g. 0.8-1. This version is already in Natty repos, hope, soon other repos will be updated.

Please, try 'bzr203' version of Weather Indicator - the crash might occur on Quit only and the only drawback will be possible growth of CouchDB. User may manually compact the database via Apache Futon

Quit issue (bug #597546) has been fixed in the bzr210 package in Unstable PPA

Too worried to check if it works since opening the indicator-weather menu freezes my system. But I will definitely look into this once the freezing bug has been fixed. :)

I still can't quit the indicator using the quit menu button. And I have the bzr210 package installed.
