Package: xboard
Version: 4.4.0~alpha6-1
Severity: important


As I tried to use xboard it comes up with the failure message:

xboard: Failed to start first chess program fairymax on localhost: fairymax: No such file or directory

a grep through the sources produce:

xboard.h:#define FIRST_CHESS_PROGRAM    "fairymax"
xboard.h:#define SECOND_CHESS_PROGRAM   "fairymax"
xboard.texi:Default: @file{Fairy-Max}.
xboard.texi:Default: @file{Fairy-Max}

There should NOT be any default engine! This failure leads to others if you start other engines with "xboard -fcp engine1 -scp engine2"; maybe this is in the sources upstream. Did you EVER test xboard
after the update?
