I agree that the correct fix should be to remove the "patch level" check from the startup code.
I tried opening a ticket on the developer sourceforge page, hoping the maintainer will notice: https://sourceforge.net/p/protracker/support-requests/3/ Since I don't want to pollute my workstation with a lot of -dev packages just to recompile protracker, as a workaround I keep at hand the older SDL version and I install it with: sudo dpkg -i libsdl2-2.0-0_2.0.7+dfsg1-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb (not the ideal solution, though as every system upgrade if not careful will reinstall the latest one) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1769693 Title: protracker refuses to run due to incorrect ABI check To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/protracker/+bug/1769693/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
