Heh.  The very next bug in my bug mail could probably be solved by fixing this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544522

I'm guessing there are numerous others, probably more serious and as-
yet-undiscovered ones.  This could affect all sorts of reports and/or
mission critical applications that businesses run on their stable
servers.

Similar, but not quite identical upstream bug report:

Bug description:
Hi,

I'm finding that mythweather only updates the first time I check it.  For subsequent checks on the same day, it only uses the cached value.   I've determined that the problem is that the envcan.pl script for Canada isn't calculating today's time properly, but I don't know perl, and I can't figure out how to fix it.

Further details:

The script command my frontend calls is:  

"nice /usr/share/mythtv/mythweather/scripts/ca_envcan/envcan.pl -u SI -d /home/greg/.mythtv/MythWeather/ENVCAN on-118"

which runs without errors.  However, when you look in the file it creates, it says 

2010-05-02T00:15:00 2010-05-02T00:00:00
%results = ('pressure' => '1003','visibility' => '24.1','copyright' => 'Copy$ ...

The first date/time on the first line is supposed to be the time of the next update.  The second date/time is supposed to be the current date/time.  If the current time is less than the next update time, the script uses the cached values.  However, the script always thinks it is midnight, so it uses the cached value since midnight is before 00:15.  Once you reach the next day, the date changes, and it allows another update.

I'm running Mythbuntu 10.04 with all the updates applied.  The version of mythweather I'm using is 0.23.0+fixes24269-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu2.
