Package: redshift
Version: 1.8-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

when geoclue package is installed, redshift fails to start with:

--8<--

Trying location provider `geoclue'...
Started Geoclue provider `Geoclue Master'.
Using provider `geoclue'.

** (process:12757): WARNING **: Provider does not have a valid location 
available.
Unable to get location from provider.

--8<--

I didn't install geoclue manually, something probably brought it in, and
I never configured it (it seems to maybe even need a GPS connected, huh).
When I uninstall geoclue (and kill the lingering process), redshift can
start again, relying on gnome-clock.

I believe geoclue should simply fall back to another provider if
a provider exists but cannot provide a location.

I'd even think that until that happens, it might make more sense to
actually disable geoclue (or lower its priority below gnome-clock) as
I think most people are very unlikely to have that configured but they
will probably have gnome-clock configured somehow.
