Package: angband,libsdl2-compat
Control: found -1 angband/1:4.2.5+dfsg1-3
Severity: normal

Usertags: regression setgid
Forwarded: https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl2-compat/issues/564
sdl2-compat is a reimplementation of the SDL 2 API using SDL 3.
It can be tested by installing the libsdl2-compat-shim and
libsdl2-compat-dev packages from testing/unstable, or by installing the
libsdl2-2.0-0 and libsdl2-dev packages built by src:sdl2-compat in
experimental.
After discussion with SDL upstream, I'm looking into what needs to
happen for Debian (and indirectly Ubuntu) to replace "classic" SDL2
(src:libsdl2) with sdl2-compat, following in the footsteps of other
distros like Arch and Fedora that have already done this transition.
When using sdl2-compat, angband doesn't start, because angband is
setgid, SDL 3 uses GTK for "tray icon" support, and GTK specifically
doesn't support being run setuid/setgid:
>$ angband -msdl2
>
>(process:624673): Gtk-WARNING **: 18:12:37.294: This process is currently
>running setuid or setgid.
>This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper
>program instead. For further details, see:

>Refusing to initialize GTK+.
A workaround is to depend on libsdl2-classic and run as:
SDL_DYNAMIC_API='/usr/$LIB/sdl2-classic/libSDL2-2.0.so.0' angband -msdl2
although I've confirmed that this still suffers from #1121870 (not a
regression, it seems that bug was already present with "classic" SDL2).
I've raised this with SDL upstream in
https://github.com/libsdl-org/sdl2-compat/issues/564 and will see what
they say.
