From what I can tell, we are trying to interact with this this code from
UpdateService.getNetworkState
https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/blob/master/app/src/main/java/org/fdroid/fdroid/UpdateService.java#L298
Perhaps someone else can help decipher if this is a problem on our side
or on F-Droid's side based on this.
In Solidarity,
Kurtis
