Comment 4 Thilo-Alexander Ginkel 2010-08-11 21:07:18 UTC

Does this issue still occur with more recent KDE releases (such as 4.4.5)?

Comment 5 Kai Uwe Broulik 2010-09-08 11:59:47 UTC

It still states 0 K and no values in KDE 4.5.1 ..

XML data returned from the API call

It seems that wetter.com returns a decimal fraction for the temperatures when requesting the forecast data for a Turkish city. I assume that this is not correctly handled by the xml.readElementText().toInt() call in the XML parser.

Right now, my KDE development environment is somewhat non-functional, so if someone can commit a quick fix that would be great. Otherwise, I'll have a look as soon as my dev environment is back. ;-)

The attached patch should solve the issue. I will commit it to SVN once I have done some more testing.

[Comment from a bug triager]
There are new cases described on bug 259471, even on KDE SC 4.6beta2 . Should this be reopened ?
