http://geoname-lookup.ubuntu.com/?query=Sao%20Paulo returns:

[{"name" : "Sao Paulo", "admin1" : "São Paulo", "country" : "Brazil",
"longitude" : "-46.636110", "latitude" : "-23.547500" }, {"name" : "Sao

The correct could be:

[{"name" : "Sao Paulo", "admin1" : "São Paulo", "country" : "Brazil",
"longitude" : "-46.636110", "latitude" : "-23.547500" } , {"name" : "Sao
Vicente de Paulo", "admin1" : "Rio de Janeiro", "country" : "Brazil",
"longitude" : "-42.259720", "latitude" : "-22.724440" }]

There isn't 4 Sao Paulo city, and neither Sao Paulo in Amazonas!!! take
a look in municipalities' list of Brazil:

Title:
  Time Zone selection shows about 20 different "New York"s and doesn't
  autoselect my location

Status in Ubuntu Geonames:
  Confirmed
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Oneiric:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  This is an install test of Oneiric B1 on a VBox VM.  I'm running 64bit
  Oneiric on a 64bit VM.

  When the timezone selection opens up after installation begins, my
  time zone is not automatically selected as it has been in previous
  versions.  When I type in New York, a selection box opens up listing
  New York about 20 - 30 times, most of them being identical entries,
  some being weird, like "New York borg" and "New York kenti".
