Unable to download The Guardian Daily Quick crossword

[yang-musa]

System: Fedora 40 Gnome, up to date as of today (May 31, 2024). Crosswords 0.3.13.2 installed via Flatpak.

Error: For the past week, clicking to download The Guardian Daily Quick crossword gives the error "Problem downloading puzzle. Unable to download a puzzle from "The Guardian Daily Quick Crossword"

Expected behavior: Crossword should download like it used to.

I ran flatpak run org.gnome.Crosswords in the terminal and got the following:

Hope that's helpful in tracing the error. Let me know if any additional information is needed.

(I originally filed this with the Crosswords app, but they believe the error lies in the xwords component).

Today I also see that all the Guardian puzzles fail in a similar fashion.

It seems to be in the finding of the latest link. That has changed, but the download by URL still works.

Oh good, that should be more easily fixable. I've got a backlog of xword-dl work right now but I'm hoping to find a few hours this week to fix this and a few other outstanding issues and cut a new release!

Thanks for reporting, @yang-musa!

I tried to fix it, but I need to figure out Beautiful Soup again....
