GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 562772
Impossible to add location from Luxembourg
Last modified: 2008-12-07 17:04:43 UTC
If you try to add Luxembourg from the clock applet, the completion proposes you "Luxembourg, Luxembourg, Belgium". That's broken: it should also propose the Luxembourg country. I guess the issue is that we don't have a city in the Luxembourg <country>. Also, related to this: <!-- The capital of Belgium --> <_name msgctxt="City in Luxembourg, Belgium">Luxembourg</_name> This comment is obviously wrong.
Forgot to mention: this confusion comes from the fact that there's a Luxembourg country with a Luxembourg city, and there's a Luxembourg region in Belgium (with no Luxembourg city, as far as I can tell).
the fact that there's a Luxembourg in Belgium is just a coincidence with respect to this bug; the problem is actually geographical, and stems from the fact that ELLX, in Luxembourg-the-country, happens to be the closest weather station to most cities in Luxembourg-the-province as well. This, combined with some slightly-buggy code to assume that the assignment of weather stations to <state>s in 2.22 still applies in 2.24, resulted in ELLX getting sucked across the border and dragging Luxembourg-the-city along with it. It's possible this has happened in other places; if it has, I think the bug would always show up as moving a weather station from a country without <state>s into a neighboring country with <state>s.
fixed in svn
