Hello Robbi,

Thanks for the follow-up. It helps with package maintenance to have confirmation about this. I agree that we can conclude that it's not a bug in 0ad.

I have noticed a correlation between faulty power supplies and faulty hard drives. So you might want to check or preemptively replace your power supply. This advice assumes that there wasn't excessive physical force on your hard drive, such as moving the computer while the hard drive was spinning or a collision of some sort.

You can close this bug following the steps in link [1]. Ignore the statements about the requirement of a new version of the package in order to close a bug, because that requirement is not applicable in this case.

Basically, send email to 992170-d...@bugs.debian.org and in the body of the email include a brief statement that you had a hardware problem and the symptoms are unreproducible since you have replaced the hard drive (assuming that is actually true). If it doesn't make sense then nevermind, and the package maintainer will later close this bug.

Thanks.
