Public bug reported:
The configuration of alien-arena is set up as a symlink:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jonathan jonathan 34 Jul 18 16:39 alien-arena ->
/usr/share/games/alien-arena/data1
instead of a directory. Alien Arena apparently requires write access to
this directory, and refuses to start without it.
I was able to repair the installation by copying the data pointed to by
the symlink into a directory, which replaced the symlink:
cp -Lr alien-arena alien-arenax
rm alien-arena
mv alien-arenax alien-arena
