With the 2.5.5 ebuild of xshipwars, starting the application (xsw) complains about a bad path. The path it is looking for is "/usr/games/share/games/xshipwars", which should really be "/usr/share/games/xshipwars". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge xshipwars (with ~[arch] to get 2.5.5) 2.xsw Actual Results: No such file or directory: /usr/games/share/games/xshipwars. This is the global data files directory and must exist in order for this program to run, please check if it has been installed and that its permissions are set properly to allow it to be accessed by this program.
