Hello everyone
I had to reinstall Bottles, because after changing Font size the UI was completely messed up.
I use the flathub version of Bottles, installed via the Software Manager of Linux Mint.
Now after re-installation Bottles does not start at all, you can briefly see that it tries to start and then fails and exits. I also tried flatpak-repair with no success.
After a few tries i gave the Terminal a shot, here is it’s output:

import pycurl
ImportError: pycurl: libcurl link-time version (7.85.0-DEV) is older than compile-time version (7.86.0-DEV)
So has anyone a idea on how to fix this? Is libcurl the culprint here, or is this just a symptom of another problem with the program itself?
I’m currently using:
Linux Mint 21 x86_64, Mate Desktop
Kernel 5.15.0-56-generic
Nvidia Driver 515.86.01-0ubuntu0.22.04.1
The system is otherwise stable, Browsing, Office Programs, running Games via Steam, using proton, ge-proton, wine etc…, basically everything else runs without a hitch and is behaving as expected.
If you need any more information or a more comprehensive error report let me know 
com.usebottles.bottles ~] shell but i’m now stuck because i can’t seem to find the right binary to execute. So executing gdb /app/bin/bottles does nothing, i guess thats because “bottles” is a python script and not the actual binary. Thats at least what i can see when i look it up under: /var/lib/flatpak/app/com.usebottles.bottles/x86_64/stable/a82972bbc738c0621d844c97b6f1adf8750a7ee9d7378b5ee828f26eaea9dbde/files/bin
