[Bug]: List of dependencies blank

[MoltenHydrogen]

Describe the bug

When I go to search for dependencies nothing shows up. Looking at the terminal logs i find 20:14:34 (ERROR) Cannot fetch dependencies repository index. The database itself seems to be online at the time of posting though, so I doubt its an server-side issue.

To Reproduce

1. Go to the configs for a bottle
2. Click on dependencies under options
3. The list is blank...

Package

Flatpak from Flathub

Additional context

I've just switched to Linux today, so there might still be some general bugs in my system I've yet to uncover that might be causing this issue.

[I-like-stuff]

I have this problem as well, I just did a clean reinstall of Bottles and now it's completely stuck on the "we need a few minutes to set everything up" apparently what bottles do is to try to establish a connection to their website which has the repo "repo.usebottles.com" but that website doesn't even exist lol

[jroneilky]

I had the same bug. I removed the package and installed bottles-git from the AUR and it works properly now.

[Cal-Nine]

I have the same bug. Flatpak version, everything up to date. On NixOS.

[ItzzCode]

just installed the flatpak version of bottles and encountered this issue too (Linux Mint 22), has the flatpak version simply not had this feature for 6 months now?

[katepavlu]

It does work properly for me

Well that's good for you, but it'd be really cool to know what makes your case different, because it doesn't work for us

Sorry Bottles v51.15 from Flathub. Pop OS 22.04. Nothing custom going on anywhere.

[Siarune]

Same issue with a fresh install on NixOS, but restarting my computer fixed it.

[arlyon]

I can repro this on both the rpm and the flatpak versions. Have tried normal wifi, reboot, VPN, and TOR

[agent-squirrel]

I also have the same issue on Debian 12 with Flatpak. Tried multiple different connections including Tor.

I'm in Australia if that helps, I noticed a previous bug report that mentioned CDN issues from certain countries.

[RobinArtemstein]

I recently experienced the same issue on KDE Neon 6.2 which is based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS as well, I install it via the official Flatpak.

But I dunno how to fix it, I decide to remove it completely and reinstall the official version of Wine and Wintricks instead, and I highly recommend every one who experiences this issue to do this.

[darkhatplatypus]

Same issue here, Fedora 41, just installed Bottles from Flatpak

[Pittermaennchen]

Same issue here, Linux Mint. Flatpak installation. No dependencies shown :(

[arlyon]

From digging in the source code, it attempts to fetch from this page https://proxy.usebottles.com/repo/dependencies/index.yml which is currently down. Some proper error handling here would be nice!

I am trying to get around this in the mean time by cloning this repo https://github.com/bottlesdevs/dependencies, hosting it locally (python -m http.server) and overriding the url in the source code.

EDIT: I directly edited the URL in the source code directly in the flatpak at /var/lib/flatpak/app/com.usebottles.bottles/x86_64/stable/active/files/share/bottles/bottles/backend/managers/repository.py (L42) and it works again.

🚨 Fix for this is to fix the 502 issue for the dependencies repo

Can confirm that this works:

git clone https://github.com/bottlesdevs/dependencies.git
cd dependencies/
python -m http.server

sudo nano /var/lib/flatpak/app/com.usebottles.bottles/x86_64/stable/active/files/share/bottles/bottles/backend/managers/repository.py

Before

"dependencies": {
    "url": "https://proxy.usebottles.com/repo/dependencies/",
    "index": "",
    "cls": DependencyRepo,
},

After:

"dependencies": {
    "url": "http://0.0.0.0:8000/",
    "index": "",
    "cls": DependencyRepo,
},

Close and re-open bottles.
