[pkg-fgfs-crew] Bug#850207: Bug#850207: flightgear: Fresh install of 2016.4.3 does not work with dependent packages

[Daren Beattie]

Thanks, editing the version file works great for now.

The upstream flightgear-data 2016.4.1, 2, 3 and 4 are completely 
identical except the version number - only flightgear and simgear were 
actually being changed, but this check required all of them to be 
re-released.

Upstream have just relaxed this requirement (in current development 
only; would probably work in 2016.4, but not tested):
https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/simgear/ci/fd34cc30b8ef0d61d0763cf44eec534dfa02686e/
https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/flightgear/ci/4a3ee6a74a1416451cfc94be9be788b39e2f97ec/

Alternatively, we could edit the 'version' files (in the source root of 
each) to make them think they're all the same version.

(If you want it to work now, rather than after the 10-day 
unstable-to-testing wait, the latter also works on the installed 
/usr/share/games/flightgear/version)

The flightgear startup dialog asked for the path to the data files. After a bit of googling and checking my system, I pointed it to /usr/share/games/flightgear. The dialog then complained "The chosen location (/usr/share/games/flightgear) contains files for version 2016.4.2, but this is FlightGear 2016.4.3. Please update or try another location".
