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 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/231811 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
