Note that this error carries on in the mail. There is a master provider for Geoclue that can make use of whatever providers are available, but it's not in too good a shape. I'd rather somebody started fixing the Geoclue master provider rather than relying on a particular service, especially when the D-Bus API for the providers themselves is something we don't want to support in the longer term.
