Package: uhexen2-common
Version: 1.5.8+dfsg-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I have the commercial disk for Hexen II (Xplosiv edition). After installing 
uhexen2 (and uhexen2-common), I followed the instructions at 
http://uhexen2.sourceforge.net/ (Read Me/Getting Started).

I copied the data files pak[01].pak from the CD to 
/usr/share/games/hexen2/data1.
I then ran h2patch, which failed with error "delta file not found!"
I ran strace on h2patch to find what file it was looking for; it turned out to 
be patchdat/data1/data1pk0.xd3.
I downloaded the Linux x86_64 binary tarballs for the 1.5.8 version and 
extracted data1pk0.xd3 and data1pk1.xd3.
I copied these 2 files into /usr/share/games/hexen2/patchdat/data1
h2patch now works OK and modifies pak[01].pak correctly.
The game seems to run fine.

So, it looks like the bug can be fixed by just adding these 2 files 
(data1pk[01].xd3) to the uhexen2-common package.
