When I try to start /usr/lib/games/ufoai/ufo from 2.2.1 Debian Lenny build, it stales with black square, red frame around it, empty progress bar at the bottom and begins to eat CPU.
Log attached.

problem is, that the game can't find the pk3 files - i think you are using broken deb files (currently all the debs i know have also missing language files btw.)

It seems that game searches *.ufo files. I've created symlynk to /usr/lib/games/ufoai/base at ~/.ufoai/2.2.1/base/ufos and changed dir to ~/.ufoai/2.2.1 and started game.

I remember we fixed some path issues in deb scripts. if it's still an issue (not in an old package but in package creator scripts) reopen.
