Arch Linux

Description:

Lutris 0.5.3 uses Python's platform.dist() function, which was deprecated in Python 3.5 and completely removed in Python 3.8. With Python 3.8 now being the default Python version Lutris is no longer able to interact with online services over HTTP, since it puts platform.dist() in the User-Agent HTTP header. This means one can no longer search lutris.net from the GUI, install runners or manage Wine versions.

Lutris' master already has a patch which fixes this issue and restores full functionality with Python 3.8: https://github.com/lutris/lutris/commit/2f7c3b1aefc96608d814e2ad37b6c49c687fae1b

Please backport this patch to restore the packages full functionality with Python 3.8.
