winetricks only works with an internet connection

The latest winetricks (20161107-1; Downgrading to winetricks-20161012-1 fixed the problem. ) only seems to work with an internet connection?

After I got the error, I disabled the firewall (which is usually blocking my wine user) and executed a few "winetricks" - they worked fine. After restarting the firewall, winetricks stopped working again. So this is not just a one time update (I also checked that the "tricks" I need are already downloaded & in the winetricks cache) - it seems to do it every time:

Am I doing it wrong (how?) or what is this (upstream / package / aria bug)?

Re: winetricks only works with an internet connection

The winetricks package had no changes except chesksums /version number  ,so it must be an upstream change.

The contents of that file are now :  20161107 .

Some kind of auto-updatecheck ?

Re: winetricks only works with an internet connection

Workaround:

WINETRICKS_LATEST_VERSION_CHECK='disabled'

According to google, there does not seem to be any documentation on this new "feature" or on where to disable it permanently.
Luckily it's bash, so I just added the variable to the top of the script manually...
