Hi,

That description came straight out of the add/remove description.

>From gnome-app-install, the complete suite is not installed. I had a
friend new to Ubuntu that wanted to play the game after playing on my
machine. She called me when she didn't have any music.

The only packages that are installed through add/remove are:

wesnoth-core
wesnoth-data
wesnoth-httt
wesnoth-tsg
wesnoth-ttb

wesnoth-all meta-package request (for gnome-app-install)

You received this bug notification because you are a member of
Debian/Ubuntu Games Team, which is subscribed to wesnoth in ubuntu.

Status in The gnome application installer: Confirmed
Status in “wesnoth” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released
Status in “wesnoth” package in Debian: Fix Released

Bug description:
New users of Linux/Ubuntu will see gnome-app-install and simply assume that is how you get a program installed.
Currently when you install "wesnoth" you get no music and no campaigns this makes the package almost useless.

My spec as such is for a meta-package called wesnoth-all which would install wesnoth along with all of it's extra packages for inclusion into gnome-app-install.
This means then that new users need only use this package and have a game ready to rock straight away.
