Severity: normal

Hi,

In

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bsdgames/+bug/160378

it was reported that the poetry file of quiz is malformed, quoting:

  the file /usr/share/games/bsdgames/quiz/poetry is missing a } bracket.

  $ quiz poem author
  quiz: unmatched alternator in regexp Elegy{ Written in a Country
Church{-| }Yard:{Thomas }Gray

The following patch is used in Ubuntu to fix this error.

Thanks,

James
