jdoom looks in /usr/share/games/deng/Data/jDoom for wad files, which is symlinked to /usr/share/games/doom-data. It then looks for Doom1.wad in that directory. However, doom-data installed the Doom 1 shareware WAD file as doom1.wad there, so it can't find it. This is with games-fps/doomsday-1.8.6 and games-fps/doom-data-1. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge doom-data 2. Emerge doomsday 3. Run jdoom Actual Results: jdoom dies with ... W_Init: Init WADfiles. --- No IWAD has been specified!

My doomsday-1.8.6 uses /usr/share/games/doom-data/doom1.wad, so this bug sounds invalid.
Reopen if it's still a problem.
