Problem summary:Dark Night no longer automatically switches dark mode using the Sunrise/Sunset schedule. It used to work before.
What are the steps to produce the issue?
Wait until it's well past sunrise (e.g. noon) or sunset (e.g. midnight). Looked up official sunrise/sunset times as well. I uninstalled Dark Night at one point; and since reinstalling it (including reboots), the automatic switching hasn't worked. Location Services and Automation/System Events are enabled. (Also see log at bottom.)
What did you expect to happen?
Mojave's Dark Mode to automatically switch to light or dark based on sunrise/sunset. Manual switching works.
What actually happens?
Nothing. Dark Mode retains its current setting, so I have to manually switch.
Which version of the app are you using?
macOS 1.65 from App Store (Mojave 10.14.6)
Which helper version are you using?
N/A
From the logfile I see this:

but I don't know how to interpret that. Obviously the "Location failed with error" is concerning; is that the problem, and how do I fix it?
