Hi,

I'm running mako with Ubuntu 15.04 20150727 (r22). Same issue with similar
Warning/Error messages in the location-service log files.

I think it used to work in the past with earlier development images (a year
ago or so...)

Is there a known issue without known solution, or just waiting to be
investigated?

Thanks!
Felipe.
