FP6: Cannot install some apps from F-Froid

Using /e/OS Applications

I am trying to install Taler Wallet with App Lounge. When I choose the Google-hosted version, all works fine. With F-Droid there was a download, then it seemed to fail without an error message, and the button changed to “Retry”. Retrying several times, even over days, didn’t help.

Actually both sources should offer the same apk, so it is strange why one of them fails. I managed to install other apps from F-Droid, so it’s not a general problem with that source.

Obviously I can use the Google version, but since that same issue happened before with OsmAnd as well, I am interested to find out about the root cause.

App Lounge version is 2.13.14 on /e/OS 3.2, FP6

Just for clarification: Did you completely remove the Google-hosted version from the device before you tried to install the F-Droid version?

Yes, I did. Actually the F-Droid-hosted version was the very first that I tried.
