[Bug 740884] Re: "Location" auto-complete menu often offers duplicate suggestions

[Sebastien Bacher]

@Segio: if you look again at the bugs table you will notice that the
"Geonames" part of the bug is not set as fix released, only the
indicator-datetime part is and that's because there is no bug in the
indicator code, the issue is the geolocalization database datas not the
code

Title:
  "Location" auto-complete menu often offers duplicate suggestions

Status in The Date and Time Indicator:
  Fix Released
Status in Ubuntu Geonames:
  Confirmed
Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: indicator-datetime

  indicator-datetime 0.1.98-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu Natty

  1. From the clock menu, choose "Time & Date Settings..."
  2. Click "Unlock to change these settings".
  3. In the "Location" field, enter "kuala lumpur", or "wellington", or "rio de janeiro " (with a trailing space).

  What happens:
  * "kuala lumpur" returns two suggestions with the exact text "Kuala Lumpur (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)".
  * "wellington" returns two suggestions with the exact text "Wellington (Wellington, New Zealand)".
  * "rio de janeiro " returns three suggestions with the exact text "Rio de Janeiro (State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)".

  What should happen: No two suggestions should ever have exactly the
  same text, because you have no way of telling what the difference is.
