Bug#692163: bsnes: /usr/games/bsnes executable fails (bsnes-bin not found)

[Rafael Cunha de Almeida]

Package: bsnes
Version: 0.088-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

/usr/games/bsnes calls bsnes-bin, assuming bsnes-bin is on PATH.
Unless you have /usr/games on your PATH, executing /usr/games/bsnes
will fail. Please consider using the full path for bsnes-bin on
bsnes script.

Moreover, I see in debian policy state that games binaries should
be installed in /usr/games. However, it does not seem to define
what a game is. Is an emulator a game? Also, policy does not seem
to say one should not create a link to /usr/bin from
/usr/game/<binary> is that considered a bad thing?

FYI: I'm running bsnes on a sid chroot inside a squeeze system.
However, I don't think this would make a difference for this
report.

Regards,
Rafael
