unity-control-center is a gui not a service, it's not started with the
session so couldn't do that job, it needs to either be the indicator-
service or unity-settings-daemon, having the indicator handling that
would be better for our convergence story...

** Package changed: unity-control-center (Ubuntu) => indicator-datetime

Title:
  datetime does not autoupdate clock based on geolocation

Status in indicator-datetime package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  See attached screenshots.

  I am currently in Spain, and unity-control-center datetime is
  configurd to automatically update the timezone based on IP
  geolocation.

  This does not work (and honestly hasn't worked for quite some time,
  well before 16.04).

  In one screenshot, you can see that my timezone is set as New York,
  and the "Automatically from the Internet" button is selected for "Set
  the time".

  In the other screenshot, you can clearly see that my geolocation shows
  that I am in Spain, but the time has NOT updated to reflect that I'm
  on a different European timezone.

  This has never worked in Ubuntu that I can recall, I always have to
  manually change the location.

  Expected Behaviour:

  Timezone is updated automatically whenever I am connected to the internet in a different timezone.
