pygame error after today's update

Solarwolf, a pygame game is not working after today's update.

Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault
Aborted

I have no idea what is causing the error. I tried reinstalling pygame and the sdl libraries. But that did not help.

Re: pygame error after today's update

The self test of pygame

python -m pygame.tests.__main__

fails with several errors.

Also, I am not able to run some of the examples that come with pygame: a data/ folder seems to be missing in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pygame/examples/ .

...
pygame.error: Couldn't open /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pygame/examples/data/arraydemo.bmp

...
Could not load image "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pygame/examples/data/player1.gif" Couldn't open /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pygame/examples/data/player1.gif

I was thinking more about a bug in the Arch bug tracker as it might be a packaging bug.

Re: pygame error after today's update

Yes.  As far as Solarwolf is concerned it appears to be a packaging bug.  After i copied the pygame icon files and 'freesansbold.ttf' into /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pygame from the source package, Solarwolf is working.
