The bug is still there, and F-Droid maintainers don't care: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/work_items/2850@organicmaps I had no problems on Lineage using FDroid nor on /e/OS AppLounge that also uses FDroid repo as far as I know...

"Some results were hidden based on your antifeature settings"
According to fdroid, Organic Maps has some antifeatures, as can be seen in this screenshot.

Organic Maps is marked with attached security advice, so if users configure strict matching they probably can't proceed...

@manankanchu it works for you, because you have changed that setting.
BTW, F-Droid deliberately misinforms users by labeling Organic Maps as such:
1. Our binary files are free assets and can be used by anyone. They are under a FOSS license that requires proper attribution.
2. The fact that the app downloads its maps from the app's CDN does not make the app "bad".But that's another story/narrative pushed towards OM by some of the F-Droid guys.
Let's focus now on the installation issue.

@snue We tested with many people. This message misleads users. Nobody we asked was able to install OM without our explanation on how to disable this unclear hint in settings. The impression was "Organic Maps was not found".

@organicmaps Can't reproduce
@cocolino You enabled that checkbox in settings, contrary to many F-Droid users who have this checkbox disabled.

I agree with you - I think the way Fdroid handles "antifeatures" could be better
