The debdiff I submitted is tested on Ubuntu Xenial.

[Bug 1400460] Re: slingshot won't lauch (unable to read font filename)

[fidel]

I can reproduce the same problem in Ubuntu 16.04 using the 0.9-1 version
of slingshot coming from the universe repository.

So i can NOT confirm that 0.9-1ubuntu1 is fixing the issue (regarding
the 'Launchpad Janitor (janitor)' comment from 2016-10-04.

Uploaded the patch, but as we're in freeze mode right now, it will
probably take a bit until the archive admins get to review it and push
it through.

I saw the bug is reported at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=758623 too - do you think you could forward the
patch there too? Or follow up with your analysis?

[Bug 1400460] Re: slingshot won't lauch (unable to read font filename)

[Christian Biamont]

Hi!

As alstein wrote, the problem is the broken symlink. I made a debdiff
that updates the symlink and adds a dependency on fonts-freefont-ttf.

This debdiff is made for Ubuntu Xenial.

Christian

** Patch added: "Add dependency and update symlink."

[Bug 1400460] Re: slingshot won't lauch (unable to read font filename)

[alstein]

Problem is the broken symlink:
/usr/share/games/slingshot/data/FreeSansBold.ttf ->
../../../pyshared/pygame/freesansbold.ttf (probably it is pygame
modification that caused this regression).

As a temporary workaround it is possible to install fonts-freefont-ttf package 
and replace the symlink:
sudo apt-get install fonts-freefont-ttf
sudo rm -f /usr/share/games/slingshot/data/FreeSansBold.ttf
sudo ln -s /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSansBold.ttf 
/usr/share/games/slingshot/data/FreeSansBold.ttf

[Volodya]

This is a regression on 14.04. The game worked very well on all versions
before.
