This crash has the same stack trace characteristics as bug #739209. However, the latter was already fixed in an earlier package version than the one in this report. This might be a regression or because the problem is in a dependent package.

Confirmed here (crash on startup just after a reboot), and by the number of duplicates.
Also, unmarking private.

If this crash normally happens on startup, perhaps indicator-weather is starting up before CouchDB is ready? If so, we could check whether CouchDB is running in indicator_weather.__init__, before the call to self.settings.prepare_settings_store() - would the test
None != CouchDatabase("weatherindicator", create = True)
do this? I know very little about CouchDB.

If it couldn't find CouchDB then we could check again every 5 seconds to see if it had started up. After 30 seconds, we should show an error icon and maybe just check every minute.

Yes, the problem is that now database variable is handled pretty losy, so it
may not be initialized via DBus. Correct behavoir would be making a loop and
wait until couchdb is initialized correctly.
