Bug Description

Binary package hint: glest

glest version: 3.0.0-0ubuntu1
glest-data version: 3.1.0-0ubuntu1

There are 2 broken symlinks in ~/.glest folder:
johan@desktop:~$ file ~/.glest/docs
/home/johan/.glest/docs: broken symbolic link to `/usr/share/games/glest/docs'

johan@desktop:~$ file ~/.glest/configuration.xml
/home/johan/.glest/configuration.xml: broken symbolic link to `/usr/share/games/glest/configuration.xml'

When I completely remove the glest and glest-data packages, reinstall them and remove the ~/.glest folder, the broken symlinks will appear again after the first run of glest.

Thank you for your bug report. Indeed, I can confirm the broken "docs" symlink on Jaunty. I'll have a closer look at this next time I work on a new revision of the package.

  * debian/control:
     - Change my entry in the Uploaders field.
     - Add a Build-Depends on liblua5.1-dev, autoconf and automake.
     - Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.0.
  * debian/glest.install:
     - Adjust the origin path.
  * debian/glest.desktop:
     - Fix a typo in the Catalan description.
  * debian/patches/nomapeditor, debian/patches/do-not-link-unneeded-libs:

     - Update the copyright information and change the formatting of the file.
     - Change the download location to SourceForge.

  * debian/glest.sh:
     - If there is an existing glest.ini file, change "<langname.lng>" to
       just "<langname>". Also, if the selected language isn't available
       anymore change it back to "english", in order to avoid the game refusing
       to start.
     - Replace the configuration file (glest.ini) with a new one if it is too
       old (setting are not preserved).
     - Create directory ~/.glest/screens for the screenshots (Closes: #505919).
     - Do not create a "docs" symlink amymore (LP: #226584).
     - Move configuration files from ~/.glest to ~/.config/glest.
  * debian/glest.6:
     - Update the manpage for Glest 3 (Closes: #505917).
  * debian/menu:

  * debian/glest.desktop:
     - Add a Spanish translation of the Comment.

  [ Gonéri Le Bouder ]
  * French translation for the .desktop file.
