Open Sonic is not installable because liballeg4.4 is not available in Ubuntu 13.10

[Arvind S Raj]

I was trying to install opensonic from playdeb on Ubuntu 13.10 and I get the following error due to a dependency that cannot be satisfied:

$ sudo apt-get install opensonic
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 opensonic : Depends: liballeg4.4 (>= 4.4.2-1) but it is not installable

Description: Open-source game based on the "Sonic the Hedgehog" universe
 Open Sonic is a free open-source game based on the
 "Sonic the Hedgehog" universe. It introduces a different
 style of gameplay called cooperative play, in which it's
 possible to control 3 characters simultaneously. Unlike
 most similar games, Open Sonic provides a greater level
 of interaction between the player and the levels. It's
 more than just a jump'n'run; the user must come up with
 some strategy in order to get through the levels.
