[Sinmaniphel]

(me again)
Reproduction steps :
- Go to Software Center
- Go to games>GGZBoard>Install
- Launch
- GUI appears
- Click on Shogi
- Silent crash
- open terminal
- $bbzboard
- Click on Shogi
- End of output :
(self.pout, self.pin) = os.popen2("gnushogi")
/bin/sh: gnushogi: not found
shogi greeting >>>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/games/ggzboard", line 1267, in <module>
    core.main(fullscreen)
  File "/usr/games/ggzboard", line 260, in main
    self.rungame()
  File "/usr/games/ggzboard", line 761, in rungame
    game.init(themepath)
  File "/usr/lib/ggz-python/ggzboard/module_shogi.py", line 97, in init
    self.pout.flush()
IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

Workaround
- install gnushogi (eg. sudo apt-get install gnushogi)

Proposed bugfix
- Add dependency from ggz-python-games to gnushogi
- Provide clear error message to user (propose to file bug for example)

I can reproduce this error (after installing the other missing the other missing dependancy on python-numeric).

Hello,

This bug should be fixed by merging my branch lp:~matttbe/ggz-python/dependences into lp:ubuntu/ggz-python

(A new package is available on my ppa)

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package ggz-python - 0.0.14.1-1ubuntu5

---------------
ggz-python (0.0.14.1-1ubuntu5) natty; urgency=low

  * debian/control:
   - Added new dependences:
    + python-numeric (LP: #474734)
    + gnushogi (LP: #484957)
   - Fixed lintian warnings by adding ${misc:Depends}
   - Bump Standard-Version to 3.9.1

Thanks for the patch. I've sponsored this, so it should build and be available for Natty shortly. I posted some additional comments and more long-term concerns on bug #474734
