[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 571536] [NEW] Pingus in Lucid crashes with ALSA output

[Michał Gołębiowski]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: pingus

I use Lucid with ALSA backend (instead of PulseAudio). When I start
Pingus with ~/.pingus directory removed, the program crashes
immediately, printing this:

$ pingus
Error: DictionaryManager: Couldn't find LanguageDef for '', leaving current dictionary unchanged
