Apparently pushover tries to load its data from the ./data directory. If
the directory is unrelated to the game, you get a crash.
The relevant code is:
if (stat(portable_datadir.c_str(), &st) == 0) {
std::cout << "Using portable datadir: " << portable_datadir << std::endl;
return portable_datadir;
} else {
std::cout << "Using system datadir: " << DATADIR << std::endl;
return DATADIR;
}
The Debian package should get rid of the "portable datadir" branch.
(But ideally this should be fixed upstream.)
