Segmentation fault when launching

[Mark Fraser]

Installed numptyphysics on 3 different computers running Kubuntu 20.04. In all cases launching from terminal:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Tried using gdb:
Starting program: /usr/games/numptyphysics

Even installed the debug symbols, but that hasn't helped.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Also unable to run this game. I do get a flicker of what looks like a window on the screen for a fraction of a second, but it goes away very fast.

Compiling the latest version (0.3.9) from https://github.com/thp/numptyphysics works. Looks like 0.2 is the latest version on Debian too.

[clickwir (clickwir)]

Just got a chance to try this and yes it does work.

Running Kubuntu 20.04.4, installed "libsdl2-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libsdl2-image-dev" and used https://github.com/thp/numptyphysics/archive/refs/tags/0.3.9.tar.gz

Complied and game opens and appears to play fine. Thanks!

How can we get Debian to update?
