Description Iñigo 2020-10-08 08:56:22 UTC
After installing the game, it won't open saying that it cannot write "/var/lib/moria/scores.dat". The file exists, but has the owners set as "root:gamestat", while it should be "root:games". A simple chown root:games /var/lib/moria/scores.dat solves the issue, but has to be done manually after every install.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install the game "Moria"
2.Try to play it
Actual Results:  
The game won't open and complain about not being able to write /var/lib/moria/scores.dat

Expected Results:  
Game should start with no warning

It runs after manually changing the ownership of the score file

That's not a typo. Add yourself to the gamestat group.

I didn't knew that the group gamestat existed! It is the first time I ever encounter it. My apologies for the mistake
