Bug Description

Binary package hint: emacs23

When finished playing the tetris that's included in Emacs23, it tries to update a non-existing scores file. The error message is:
Failed to access scores file: No such file or directory.

The problem can be fixed by adding these lines to .emacs:
(setq tetris-score-file
  "~/.emacs.d/tetris-scores")

System:
Kubuntu 10.04
Emacs Version: 23.1+1-4ubuntu7

This issue is still present in emacs23, even the version available in 14.04. However, the score file is created and behaves as expected in emacs24 24.5+1-6ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 16.04. I skimmed through the changelog, but didn't find any explicit reference to what fixed it, so I am unsure what or if a patch could be made and applied to older releases.
