[SRU] Pathological wont accept any input

[thom]

[ Impact ]

pathological is completely unusable as none of the keyboard or mouse input will work. And the game can not be played if the user can not control the game.

[ Test Plan ]

1. Install pathologial
2. Use up-down keys to check if different options can be selected
3. start the game
4. Use mouse left and right buttons to control
5. Play the game

If the package is not fixed, then it will fail in Step 2.

[ Where problems could occur ]

There is not much change in the code, its only fixing the Python3 syntax and using '==' instead of 'is'. The change has been in Lunar/Mantic and Debian and there has been no reported regression due to this change. And, so I am not expecting any regression for Jammy also. The game is already not playable, there can not be a worse regression than this.

[ Other Info ]

The same fix from Debian is in Mantic.

Focal has the same package version but the game can be played.

[ Original Bug Description ]

cat /etc/lsb-release:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=22.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=jammy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 22.04 LTS"

apt policy pathological:
pathological:
  Geïnstalleerd: 1.1.3-16
  Kandidaat: 1.1.3-16
  Versietabel:
 *** 1.1.3-16 500
        500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/universe amd64 Packages
        500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/universe i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Pathological 1.1.3-16 accepts no input from keyboard or mouse anymore under ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

The same pathological version (1.1.3-16) works without problem under ubuntu 20.04 LTS
(so it is probably library related)

Steps to reproduce:
Start pathological (by commandline or menuitem or starter)
When titlescreen/openingsmenu appears, try to select any menuitem (can't be done)

It may be important to know that pygame and probably some other libraries changed:
20.04
 pygame 1.9.6

22.04
 pygame 2.1.2 (SDL 2.0.20, Python 3.10.4)

I can reproduce the issue on Jammy. Also tested and confirmed that the issue is not seen on Focal or Mantic.

Debdiff for Jammy attached.

Looks good to me! Sponsoring.

Hi Sudip, Dave (uploader),

Thanks for the patch for Ubuntu!

These changes do not modify the DEP3 headers of the existing python3.patch file.

For SRUs, it's good practice to add 'Bug-Ubuntu:' / 'Origin:' tags, and in the
case the .patch file already exists, a 'Last-Update:' tag too would be helpful.

The fact that Debian applied the change this way doesn't mean derivatives have
to apply it the same way; so, in the future, I'd suggest that the Ubuntu patch
should be added/updated the DEP3 tags for the incremental changes.

It's not a big deal for this package/frequency of maintenance; this one is OK.

Thanks again!
