Doesn't start in feisty

the crash report I was speakin' about

Same here.

Idem here on a i686 system. Guess it's a Python problem (passing from 2.4 to 2.5?)

Doesn't start in feisty here too, but with different error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/games/pysol/pysol.py", line 47, in ?

  File "/usr/share/games/pysol/main.py", line 54, in ?

    from actions import PysolToolbarActions
  File "/usr/share/games/pysol/actions.py", line 45, in ?
    from random import constructRandom
ImportError: cannot import name constructRandom

I'm seeing the same error on two i686 installations here:

ImportError: cannot import name constructRandom

As far as I can see, what happens is that the "from random import constructRandom" loads /usr/lib/python2.5/random.py instead of /usr/share/games/pysol/random.py. Just as a test I copied pysol/random.py to another file, and changed the imports in actions.py, app.py and game.py to reflect this. The game started up.

As noted in the changelog, this is a bit of a hack to get around what appears to be an intermittend Python bug, but it is a hack that works.

Locally built package with this change runs as expected on a box the crashed with ubuntu3.
