Hi, I ran the same problem (libgnomevfs2-extra was not installed, so gweather-applet stopped working).
I don't have g-d-e installed (evolution + epiphany + totem etc are really a lot of space if I don't use them), so I didn't get the dep for libgnomevfs2-extra. If libgnomevfs2-extra isn't installed, the weather applet can be added to a panel, configured, and seems to run. When the VFS http call fails, it sits in 'Updating' and eventually fails. It's really hard to tell that this is a packaging/package installation issue. Although libgnomevfs2-extra in the recommends for gnome-applets (at 2.18.0-3) it's really hard to tell that this is actually a dependancy for gweather-applet. Looking quickly at the gnome-applets bug list, many of the gweather bugs listed are just the lack of this package being installed. libgnomevfs2-extra is 540k installed, with the http module being 110k of this. Could libgnomevfs2-extra be added as a dependency to gnome-applets, or libgnomevfs2-extra be rolled back into libgnomevfs2-0? If this is a bad idea, or not possible, could there at least be a README.Debian for gnome-applets pointing out the requirement for libgnomevfs2-extra to be installed for gweather-applet to work? This was the first thing I looked for to see if there was a known fix, and I'm guessing that it would cut down on related bug reports. At the moment, there is no way AFAICT to find out what's going on without searching the Debian bug database (which most people probably aren't going to get to).
