Package: uhexen2-common Version: 1.5.8+dfsg-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I have the commercial disk for Hexen II (Xplosiv edition). After installing uhexen2 (and uhexen2-common), I followed the instructions at http://uhexen2.sourceforge.net/ (Read Me/Getting Started). I copied the data files pak[01].pak from the CD to /usr/share/games/hexen2/data1. I then ran h2patch, which failed with error "delta file not found!" I ran strace on h2patch to find what file it was looking for; it turned out to be patchdat/data1/data1pk0.xd3. I downloaded the Linux x86_64 binary tarballs for the 1.5.8 version and extracted data1pk0.xd3 and data1pk1.xd3. I copied these 2 files into /usr/share/games/hexen2/patchdat/data1 h2patch now works OK and modifies pak[01].pak correctly. The game seems to run fine. So, it looks like the bug can be fixed by just adding these 2 files (data1pk[01].xd3) to the uhexen2-common package.
Unfortunately those files are non-free, so I cannot ship them with Debian. I'll keep this bug in pending state until I update the documentation to clarify this, I just re-read README.Debian and it wasn't very clear about this -- IRC: gfa GPG: 0X44BB1BA79F6C6333
