Bug#488686: vegastrike segfaults when running vsinstall

[Chris Carr]

Package: vegastrike
Version: 0.5~svn12126-2

(output of reportbug attached)

I have tried further messing around with vssetup and running vegastrike
itself. The main game loads up but only the ship is visible in the
centre of the screen, along with the error message "ERROR: no rooms
specified". Changing the vssetup config does not change this outcome,
nor prevent the segfault on vsinstall. 

Regards,

CC

I get the following error every time I run vsinstall:

... grateful for any hints. I have tried messing around with the vssetup program, but to no avail.
