Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openttd

Ubuntu version: 9.04
Package: openttd 0.6.3-1

Preconditions: package is installed, but additional required data files are not
Expected behavior: a dialog should pop up explaining that the data files are 
not installed. Optimally, a gksudo or policykit-enabled dialog would prompt the 
user for its location and install them on the fly.
Actual behavior: if the data files are not installed, OpenTTD dies silently 
(i.e. there is absolutely no feedback to the user after clicking on the menu 
item). In order to copy the data files, one has to do so manually, with the 
additional hurdle of having to copy them into /usr/share/games, i.e. a 
non-user-writable zone.

** Affects: openttd (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
