I don't have the full story, but that's what the error code described in the bug report apparently means. Looking at the patch in the pull request, what it apparently does in an attempt to prevent that error code from occurring is to pull the list of servers from a different URL (and, I'm guessing, a different API). If that does in fact fix it, then the error code is misleading, and the issue is that the method the CLI tool is using to figure out what server(s) to contact is no longer correct. In that case, the reason why it works from the Website but not from the CLI tool would probably be because the Website backend is looking at the correct server list, and the CLI tool is looking at the wrong one. (And, potentially, some of the servers that can be contacted based on the wrong list give this error, and some don't.) I do not even use this service, much less this tool. I am going entirely based on what I found via reportbug for the package with the tool in it, and then the information I found (and/or found linked to from) there. My analysis could be correct, or it could be entirely off-base. I just didn't want to leave the conclusion that "it's fixed in trixie" unaddressed, when that did not seem to me to be the case. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
