Hi Folkert,

the opening book is missing because I can't let debian redistribute any binary 
opening book.

Point 1: I have got no source!
Point 2: Moves/Games in the opening book might be copyrighted!

Debian is strict at these issues, and I didn't have discussed that with debian 
legal or with anyone from the other chess engine packagers. I will do that in 
the near future. (maybe [EMAIL PROTECTED] he does crafty)

Everything would be ok If I could do the bookfile automagically with hoichess, 
I will check that. I will get in contact with holger, the author, and discuss 
the issue.

You can also specify the book on the commandline 

--book "filename" will set location of opening book. So I will downgrade the 
severity of this bug.

Thanks for the bugreport, it keeps me improving the package.

Oliver
