Bug#784166: widelands: Game crashes on song change

[Alex Henry]

Thank you again. It does seem that my package mix-up was the culprit
somehow.

Unfortunately I don't have more time to look into the issue - I just posted
the bug report thinking this was a issue everyone would have when
downloading the amd64 package. It seems I was wrong but the intentions were
good :)
