Package: holotz-castle
Version: 1.3.4-2
Severity: important

holotz-castle crashes on powerpc after selecting "new game" or "continue
game" from the menu.  The console output is

  Couldn't find the theme theme/default233?
  
  Error loading the theme default233?
                                     .
  Error loading the level 
/usr/share/games/holotz-castle/game/stories/holotzcastle/level001.hlv.
  Error loading the world.
  Failed to init game. Check the manual.
  Fatal signal: Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)

A quick look with gdb suggests that the problem is that Debian/powerpc
is a big endian architecture, but the data files are formatted for
little endian ones (like x86) and there's no translation code.

For instance, the odd theme name above appears to be caused by JString's
Load method which reads the length in without changing the byte order.
Hence it attempts to read 117440512 (0x7000000) bytes, rather than 7
(and ignores the short read error).

Cheers,

  Brian
