Bug#757876: freeciv-client-gtk: can't start a local game

[Xavier Cartron]

Package: freeciv-client-gtk
Version: 2.4.2-1~bpo70+1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

When I click on "Start a new game" ("démarrer une nouvelle partie" in
french), I see at the bottom of the client window these messages : 
"Starting local server"
"Impossible to connect to the server"
And then, nothing happens, and I can't play any game.

Unfortunately, I don't see any error message when launching freeciv with
a terminal.

Do not hesitate to ask for more informations

Regards
