Clicking the GNOME Weather icon doesn't start the application. Trying to run it from a terminal doesn't work either, and I get the following message:

$ gnome-weather 
Unsatisfied dependency: GWeather

I'm using this Guix in the GNU system:

I can reproduce.

Note that from GNOME, running "gnome-weather" in a shell works.

However the icon does not work either.  I noticed that the desktop
file executes

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
gapplication launch org.gnome.Weather
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Does any one know how this is supposed to work?
If not, as a workaround I suggest we replace this line with
"gnome-weather".

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

The error is

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
> gapplication launch org.gnome.Weather
error sending Activate message to application: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.Weather exited with status 1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

strace attached.

I've reported the issue upstream:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-weather/-/issues/97

I've pushed a workaround in ea529c75d1e527ab76bf865d765bb529fcc2bb7d.

Also note that gnome-weather fails outside of GNOME (in my case with
EXWM) with

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
> gnome-weather 
Unsatisfied dependency: GWeather
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
