Bug#700705: alien-arena cannot play single player

Sat Feb 16 13:31:24 UTC 2013

Package: alien-arena
Version: 7.53+dfsg-3

Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?
play single player and there's no bot,

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
there's "sort of" workaround from 
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1945910.html :
Simply make sure the “/home/username/.config/alien-arena” exists and 
then copy both the “botinfo” and the “arena” directories from 
“/usr/share/games/alien-arena” into it.

* What was the outcome of this action?
aragorn at aragorn-1215b ~ $ alien-arena
ln: failed to create symbolic link 
‘/home/aragorn/.config/alien-arena/data1’: File exists
using /home/aragorn/.config/alien-arena/arena for writing

Console initialized.

Description: Standalone 3D first person online deathmatch shooter
ALIEN ARENA is a standalone 3D first person online deathmatch shooter
crafted from the original source code of Quake II and Quake III, released
by id Software under the GPL license. With features including 32 bit
graphics, new particle engine and effects, light blooms, reflective water,
hi resolution textures and skins, hi poly models, stain maps, ALIEN ARENA
pushes the envelope of graphical beauty rivaling today's top games.
.
This package installs the SDL client for Alien Arena.
