Hi Jeremiah, I can't reproduce this bug, and looking at the source package, it shouldn't happen since the path is patched: % cat debian/patches/set_install_base --- a/bambam.py +++ b/bambam.py @@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ from pygame.locals import * # figure out the install base to use with image and sound loading -progInstallBase = os.path.dirname(os.path.normpath(sys.argv[0])); +progInstallBase = '/usr/share/bambam' screenheight, screenwidth = 600,800 # Load image in data/, handling setting of the transparency color key Without the patch, bambam would indeed look in /usr/bin + data/ Not sure how you ended up in this situation -- are you sure you were running the executable from the package and not some other versions, maybe locally installed or something?
