[Pkg-games-ubuntu] [Bug 1399544] [NEW] Freeciv client can't Start New Game

[Ramon Casha]

Public bug reported:

Run "freeciv-gtk2 -l freeciv.log", and pressed "Start New Game".
The GUI displayed the following messages: 

Starting local server...
Couldn't connect to the server.
We probably couldn't start it from here.
You'll have to start one manually. Sorry...

The log file contained the following:

This is the server for Freeciv version 2.4.2
You can learn a lot about Freeciv at http://www.freeciv.org/
3: in log_init() [log.c::231]: log started
0: in server_open_socket() [sernet.c::1146]: bind failed: Address already in use
0: bind failed: Address already in use

If I run freeciv-server manually, I can "connect to network game" and
from then on it works.

Freeciv (client, data, server) version is 2.4.2-1
Ubuntu version 14.04.1 LTS
Running under KDE
