Package: gnudoku
Version: 0.93-1
Severity: important
I have tried 2 puzzles in gnudoku generated with the defaults
(difficulty between Easy and Hard). Both puzzles generated have multiple
solutions. In the first case, I realized the problem 7 digits away from
completion, so the problem is pretty obvious. This puzzle as it was when
I abdicated is the first attached. I abdicated about the second puzzle
earlier and entered where I was in Logic Games Online's Sudoku Solver.
The solution found by this site is not the same as the one gnudoku gives
after asking it to solve the puzzle (at least one of the solutions given
by the site, I don't know if the choice is deterministic). The site also
mentions at the bottom that the puzzle entered had multiple solutions.
The URL for the solution is
http://www.logicgamesonline.com/sudoku/solver.php?s=...649275452378961967...348724..3516..94..7325367..489348...127691237854275..4693
gnudoku's solution is the second attachment.
Given that this happened in the 2 first tries with the defaults, I
suggest to bump this bug to serious unless this issue is specific to my
system. The bug as it happens here not only makes gnudoku basically
unusable/unenjoyable, but also quite frustrating, as I personnally don't
abdicate quickly on a su doku (I feel lucky that the unsolvable part in
the first puzzle came only 7 digits away from the end, at which point
the problem was quite obvious). The presence of ksudoku and gnome-sudoku
in testing also makes the transition of gnudoku to testing quite useless
(at least until this bug is solved).
