Package: spellcast
Version: 1.0-21
Severity: normal

On exit, if one wants to save the game log, the following error occurs:

spellcast: unable to open /var/games/spellcast/spellcast-5780 for writing
spellcast: error: Permission denied

It turns out that this directory is only writable by group games, and that the
binary is not sgid games.

Further more, the manpage roughly says the log is going to be saved in /tmp, and
probably has to be updated.

And also related, the postinst should probably use dpkg-statoverride instead of
calling chown and chmod by hand.
