Package: freecol
Version: 0.7.4.dfsg+1-1
Severity: important
For my primary user:
When started from the command line with no options, freecol just prints the
usage message to stderr and exits. Adding any option makes it work (tried
with --windowed, --splash, --no-sound).
This also happens when started from the window-manager's menu.
For a second user id on the same machine, it runs fine.
The difference is that the primary user's .bashrc includes
set failglob
if /usr/games/freecol is called with no arguments, this makes
the final line's "$@" expand to "failglob".

This is no bug. From bash(1):
set [--abefhkmnptuvxBCHP] [-o option] [arg ...]
Without options, [...] Any arguments remaining after
the options are processed are treated as values
for the positional parameters and are assigned, in
order, to $1, $2, ... $n.
set failglob is the exact equivalent of setting $1 to failglob. I'm
not sure whether that should be inherited by subshells, or if it is
due to the fact that a /bin/bash shell script sources your .bashrc,
but in any case, this is the desired behaviour. Fix your .bashrc, I'm
closing this bug.
Cheers,
Vincent
