Thanks for replying, missed the notification at the time.

I suspected as much re Lutris - what I actually want to know is how to find out the dependencies, roughly like apt rdepends does it.

A crude start to finding out would be something like this I guess:
ffd()(for p in $(flatpak list --columns=application);do 2>/dev/null flatpak info -m $p | grep -iq "$1" && echo $p;done);ffd wine
