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

[Sergio Benjamim]

http://geoname-lookup.ubuntu.com/?query=Sao%20Paulo returns:

[{"name" : "Sao Paulo", "admin1" : "São Paulo", "country" : "Brazil",
"longitude" : "-46.636110", "latitude" : "-23.547500" }, {"name" : "Sao
Paulo", "admin1" : "São Paulo", "country" : "Brazil", "longitude" :
"-46.636110", "latitude" : "-23.547500" }, {"name" : "Sao Paulo",
"admin1" : "São Paulo", "country" : "Brazil", "longitude" :
"-46.636110", "latitude" : "-23.547500" }, {"name" : "Sao Paulo",
"admin1" : "São Paulo", "country" : "Brazil", "longitude" :
"-46.636110", "latitude" : "-23.547500" }, {"name" : "Sao Paulo",
"admin1" : "Amazonas", "country" : "Brazil", "longitude" : "-62.900000",
"latitude" : "-7.233330" }, {"name" : "Sao Vicente de Paulo", "admin1" :
"Rio de Janeiro", "country" : "Brazil", "longitude" : "-42.259720",
"latitude" : "-22.724440" }]

The correct could be:

[{"name" : "Sao Paulo", "admin1" : "São Paulo", "country" : "Brazil",
"longitude" : "-46.636110", "latitude" : "-23.547500" } , {"name" : "Sao
Vicente de Paulo", "admin1" : "Rio de Janeiro", "country" : "Brazil",
"longitude" : "-42.259720", "latitude" : "-22.724440" }]

There isn't 4 Sao Paulo city, and neither Sao Paulo in Amazonas!!! take
a look in municipalities' list of Brazil:

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.
