Hi,

I think that upgrading to 2.10.1 is all that's needed to fix this.

One sees this error message:

    ERROR railway_gtk::gui::station_entry::imp] Error requesting places: Backend error: error requesting data: reqwest error: error sending request for url (https://app.vendo.noncd.db.de/mob/location/search)

This seems to have been fixed in the latest release by the looks of it,
as seen in the 2.10.1 changelog:

https://gitlab.com/schmiddi-on-mobile/railway/-/releases/2.10.1

  - Fixed errors with the DB provider.

The same issue seems to be being described here:

https://github.com/public-transport/db-vendo-client/issues/48

so it seems that this is about attempting to contact the no-longer
available (presumably beta) host `app.vendo.noncd.db.de` which seems to
have now been replaced with a proper DNS name of:  app.services-bahn.de

Cheers, Phil.

Hi,

maybe railway-gtk is not really fit for a Debian stable release? We had the
same situation with Trixie where the package was fine when Trixie was released
and now is RC-buggy and cannot be fixed and a newer version cannot be
backported because Rust.

What do you think?

Thanks!

cheers, josch

Hi,

the problem was DB changing their API twice (!). It is still on my
agenda to get railway-gtk fixed in stable, by vendoring all
railway-provider* crates but building with the regular crates otherwise.

A backport should be possible, albeit requiring a lot of work.

I agree this is not ideal; since the package in general is susceptible
to API changes breaking it.

The other option would be to remove it from stable; but that is IMO the
last option. I'll try to get this in shape for stable update in the next
month.

best,
