severity 386425 important forwarded 386425 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1554814&group_id=5095&atid=105095 thanks
Hi,
Thanks for reporting this. On my system I didn't have any problem, so I'm
guessing it comes from some custom files you have installed in
/usr/share/games/pioneers/. For that reason, I lowered the severity to
"important" (and thus not release-critical). I do expect to have it fixed
before the release though.

Looking at the code, I would expect this assertion to be triggered when a file
doesn't end on a newline. Could you check if this is the case for any of the
files in /usr/share/games/pioneers/, which have a name ending on .game?

I think you installed in /usr/local/ when not using the debian system,
correct? In that case, my theory would indicate a custom-built .game file not
ending on a newline in /usr/share/games/pioneers, which isn't present in
/usr/local/share/games/pioneers.
I'll fix this anyway, but if you could check that it is indeed what causes
your problem, that would be helpful.
Thanks,
Bas
