I've cleaned up my file system by removing what likely was an older bambam binary. I've purged the original package and re-installed and everything works accordingly. Closing. Cool, thanks for checking and closing the bug. Thanks for your help Gregor. You're welcome, thanks to you too. Cheers, gregor -- .''`.

Bug#714251: bambam crashes on launch due to not finding image in data dir.
Package: bambam Version: 0.4.dfsg-2 Severity: grave Tags: upstream Justification: renders package unusable Dear Maintainer, When launching the bambam executable, it immediately fails due to a missing directory. The missing directory is /usr/bin/data/ which does not exist on my machine. I am unsure what Debian Policy says about sucha directory and its appropriateness in /usr/bin but in any case, it either needs to be created by the package (since this is liekly to happen to others) or it needs to be placed somewhere else.
