UniGetUI Version

2006.1.11

Windows version, edition, and architecture

Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise10.0.19045

Describe your issue

There are multiple broken icon/metadata mappings occurring for Python (PIP) packages, causing UniGetUI to throw persistent NotFound errors in the logs while trying to fetch visual assets.

Case 1: Cross-Platform Namespace Collision (tenacity)

UniGetUI detects the locally installed Python tenacity library (from PyPI). However, the internal metadata engine incorrectly maps this package to the unrelated Tenacity Audio Editor hosted on Codeberg, resulting in a failed asset fetch.

  • Log Error: unigetui Icon download attempt at https://codeberg.org failed with code NotFound

Case 2: Expired/Broken Hardcoded External Link (starlette)

UniGetUI tracks the Python ASGI framework starlette, but its icon metadata points to a dead URL on a third-party image hosting platform (postimg.cc). Because the hosted image no longer exists, the client fails to render an icon.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Ensure the Python (pip) manager is enabled in UniGetUI.
  2. Install either package via pip (pip install tenacity starlette).
  3. Check the UniGetUI operation logs.

Relevant information

UnigetUI is run as administrator just to show the errors as Python was installed in administrator mode.

Expected Behavior

UniGetUI should safely handle Python package metadata without mapping them to unrelated desktop software repositories or relying on fragile, third-party image hosting URLs.
