Jaunty: toga2 package 1.4.1 broken

[Bernhard]

Binary package hint: toga2

Don't know if there is a lot of support here for toga2 but if you go to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/i386/toga2/ then you see two versions of toga2, 1.3.4 and 1.4.1. The latest build 1.4.1 is the jaunty build and it's broken. I know at least one serious bug in there:

use it as engine in scid 3.7.1 (which has UCI support) and the "Multiple Variations" option is broken. You can adjust the number of variations that you want displayed but it will never show more than one single variation in the analysis tab. This problem shows up in 1.4.1 but it worked correctly in 1.3.4.

I don't think there is a lot of difference in playing strength between 1.3.4 and 1.4.1, so I would suggest to take 1.4.1 out of the repos and downgrade them to 1.3.4.

The problem is the following output of toga2 (1.4.1) with MULTIPV set to 4:

info multipv 1 depth 16 seldepth 37 score cp 32 time 37008 nodes 25274217 pv e2e4 e7e5 g1f3 g8f6 f3e5 d7d6 e5f3 f6e4 d2d3 e4f6 b1c3 f8e7 d3d4 e8g8 f1d3 b8c6 e1g1

I don't have this problem anymore in the toga2 package of karmic.

Correction: I still have this problem with toga2 (v 1.4.1) but I am currently using toga2 (v 1.2.1) and that version is not yet broken.

http://www.cyclonechess.com/toga.htm claims that "multiPV (1-10) fixed" in toga II 2.0 SE.
