[SRU] numptyphysics segfault on startup on XUb 21.04

[DarkTrick]

[ Impact ]

numptyphysics is completely unusable as it will segfault immediately on start.

[ Test Plan ]

1. Install numptyphysics
2. Start numptyphysics
3. Play the game to check it works

If the package is not fixed then it will fail to start.

[ Where problems could occur ]

This is changing the code and is now returning valid values from non-void functions, so the runtime behaviour of the application will change. So, there might be a little chance that the some of the return values are not as expected. But, currently the application does not even start, and any regression due to this change can not be more than that.

[ Other Info ]

This change is from Debian and is part of Ubuntu from Impish onwards. There has been no reported regression.

[ Original Bug Description ]

Reproduce
=========
- `sudo apt install numptyphysics`
- `numptyphysics`

I have now tested and confirmd that the issue is seen on Focal. Also tested to verify Jammy and Mantic are not affected.

debdiff attached.

[Sergio Durigan Junior (sergiodj)]

Thanks for the fix.

Uploaded to Focal.

Notes:

- Version with the patch [0] (0.2+svn157-0.5) was introduced in Ubuntu on Impish [1]
(older than Jammy in the SRU template, so updated the SRU template to increase
version range it has been applied in Ubuntu).

- The DEP-3 field 'Origin:' has an invalid optional prefix 'Debian';
it should be 'vendor' per DEP-3 guidelines [2] in this case,
but let's not require another upload just because of this.

Please just note that in future uploads :) Thanks for using DEP-3 tags!

Thanks!

The field can be optionaly prefixed with a single keyword followed by a comma and a space to categorize the origin. The allowed keywords are "upstream" (in the case of a patch cherry-picked from the upstream VCS), "backport" (in the case of an upstream patch that had to be modified to apply on the current version), "vendor" for a patch created by Debian or another distribution vendor, or "other" for all other kind of patches.
