gnome-sudoku crashes at new game

I recently installed the gnome-games package and whenever I try to open gnome-sudoku, the game opens and prompts me for the difficulty, then it crashes, am I missing some dependencies? maybe a lib-something or anything like that? Should I file a bug?

Here's the console output:

[caesarivs@tyr ~]$ gnome-sudoku

Re: gnome-sudoku crashes at new game

I just tried it, got the same error.  That's a python programming error (list index out of range) so it's definitely a bug to report upstream.  I'm using Xfce but have gnome-games installed too.

Re: gnome-sudoku crashes at new game

So where should I report the bug? I've never done that before :S

PS: Thanks for checking

Re: gnome-sudoku crashes at new game

You're welcome.  I've never reported a bug myself so perhaps someone else could weigh in.  In the meantime, here is the related documentation for reporting bugs:

Re: gnome-sudoku crashes at new game

It is surely possible to apply the patch provided by GNOME team before rebuilding the gnome-games package via ABS, but as it is a collection of python scripts, a faster way would be to merely apply the patch on output files, that is changing line 130 of /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gnome_sudoku/sudoku.py from

if type(grid) == str:

to

if isinstance(grid, basestring):

I specified it because I met this trouble as well and don't really like rebuilding packages. Maybe other users might find these indications useful.
