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,

werdahias
