[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 999378] Re: package wesnoth-1.8-core 1:1.8.5-1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2

Great, thanks. I discovered this solution similarly. Sorry I didn't
update the bug report, Ubuntu was doing it all automatically so I wasn't
paying a great deal of attention. I had installed Wesnoth 1.10 because
it was the most recent version, but then a friend of mine only had
Wesnoth 1.8 and we wanted to play a networked game so I tried installing
1.8 in parallel.

I guess the downfall of having multiple versions in the repositories
designed to be installed side-by-side.

Thanks for checking into it.
