This bug can now be fixed in Ubuntu by syncing Intrepid to prboom
2:2.4.7+dfsg-5. I have tested this package and it works just fine. With
the wad recommends not satisfied:
IdentifyVersion: IWAD not found
prboom requires a doom data ("IWAD") file to use.
please install one, either freedoom or a package built
using game-data-packager.
This is expected, and a useful message. Thanks Jon.
With respect to game-data-packager, I believe that once this is in
Debian Sid, it will be brought into Ubuntu for the next version (9.04).
Manual intervention will be needed to bring it into Intrepid; I'll keep
an eye out for it :-).
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: prboom
The prboom package lists freedoom as a requirement, but it shouldn't.
Freedoom and prboom are totally different things. Prboom can be used
without the freedoom package with any .wad file and the -iwad command
switch. It would make sense for freedoom to be a recommended package for
prboom, but it makes no sense that freedoom is a dependency. This is a
problem for me because I'm running Ubuntu on an eeepc and space can be
pretty tight at times.

+ SOLUTION:
+ Sync to prboom 2:2.4.7+dfsg-5
** Tags added: upgrade

freedom is a dependancy for prboom... but shouldn't
