This is not a packaging error, because redshift is a command line tool and any GUI should be optional.
Sadly, I am not familiar with the graphical interface, but you should try to select a different location provider (geoclue, gnome-clock or manual) and configure it properly. I recommend reading the manual page [1] and the configuration details on the official website [2].
