Bug Description

I've installed this game through the Install/Remove menu in Edgy, but after installation the game doesn't show up in the Games menu. If i run it from console with the adonthell -l option it tells me that there are no games installed. However this is suggested when you install the game.

Okay, i've read to fast and didn't that i needed to install the -data package as well. Shouldn't this package be in the Install application too, or automaticly installed when you in install adonthell?

Just a bug triager answering the best I can.

Waste's edge is the first game based on Adonthell RPG engine.
It is packaged as adonthell-data, because for now, there is just one game.

So, if you install adonthell-data, it does install the engine: adonthell package.

But installing the package adonthell, suppose you may just be interested in the game engine itself, perhaps because you know some other game data on the Net, or because you wish to write your own RPG game based on Adonthell engine.

Adonthell-data is in the suggested package for Adonthell engine. So this looks fine to me.

Confirming, installing through Add/Remove should install a functional game without having to open Synaptic, which is not the case here, since package "adonthell" recommends "adonthell-data", but should depend on it.
