Have you installed the abuse-sfx package? (it is only suggested by abuse-sdl, not required/recommended)

sudo apt-get install abuse-sfx

[Ken Sharp (kennybobs)]

Ah, I see. No I hadn't. So the package should be changed to make this a requirement. I have no idea in what circumstances people would decide not to install the SFX where you can simply disable the sound if you don't want them.

Marking Triaged/Wishlist per request from dlenz on #ubuntu-bugs

[Daniel Letzeisen (dtl131)]

Note that the licensing for abuse sounds is "non-free" according to Debian Free Software Guidelines. Accordingly, the abuse sounds are in the non-free repo of Debian and multiverse repository in Ubuntu. Most likely, abuse-sfx can not be made a depend/recommend because of licensing issues, but I will leave the bug open until someone more legally knowledgeable confirms that.

Perhaps a clearer indication that abuse-sfx cannot be automatically installed due to licencing issues.
