Bug Description

Binary package hint: vegastrike-data

When I try to run the game, it reports it's using 0.4 data, as the game is at 0.5, I believe we need to sync the game content as well as the main game. The main game (vegastrike) is at 0.5, but the data package (vegastrike-data) reports 0.4.3. Thank you.

I had the same issue. I had to uninstall the "Vega Strike" in repositories and install "vegastrike-linux-0.5.0.tar.bz2" from http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/getfiles/ . Version 0.4.3 is missing many parts such as the main menu.

The developers upstream [url=https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vegastrike-data/+bug/403698]reported[/url] that vegastrike-data 0.5 was rejected from both the Ubuntu and Debian repositories because it was too large. The latest version can be downloaded from their site or GetDeb.

But that isn't very clear to those who are new. It seems that it should be irrelevant of size---we need to offer the latest. Users will be confused if the game they see versus the game in the manual (and everyone else is playing) are different.

I agree. Do you think we should try to split "vegastrike-data" into "vegastrike-data1" and "vegastrike-data2" ?

( Oops, I just realized that my link in #2 was wrong. Here is the right one: http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=14323 )

Either that or remove vegastrike from the repositorys. Its pretty unusable now.

The vegastrike package has been removed from lucid (but vegastrike-data is still there) from See Bug #495203 and http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/vegastrike :(
