Bug#906306: freeciv: 2.6 "start scenario game" uses antique looking tileset

[Mark Van den Borre]

Package: freeciv
Version: 2.6.0-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
Upgrade to freeciv 2.6.0-1 (Debian buster, package came in 20180815).

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
Start the application. Try to load a predefined scenario.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
Rendering in game reverts to a very crude ancient looking "overhead" tileset.
No option to reenable the previous version's isometric/isohex sets.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Rendering in game using isometric/isohex tilesets, like in previous versions.

This is a known upstream bug that is being worked on. Just wanted to save
friendly Debian maintainers and upstream from unnecessary questions.

Thank you for your work on Debian!

Mark
