Bug#739068: Current package is unusable, but a few tricks can fix it

[Julien Puydt]

Package: megaglest
Version: 3.7.1-1

Megaglest wasn't starting because it couldn't find some files.

I modified by hand glest.ini like this:
DataPath=/usr/share/games/megaglest/
;DataPath=$APPLICATIONDATAPATH/

and it crashed much later ; I went in
/usr/share/games/megaglest/data/lang and did:

sed -i -e "s|\$APPLICATIONDATAPATH|/usr/share/games/megaglest|g" *lng

and now my kids can enjoy it again!

I hope that helps,
