Package: gnome-sudoku Version: 1:3.14.1-1 Severity: important Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer, When I start GNOME Sudoku and generate a new puzzle, it's always the same puzzle. If I generate *another* puzzle, the second puzzles are always the same. I assume this isn't the intention. The problem goes away if I add `srand(time(NULL));` to `qqwing_generate_puzzle`. I'm not sure that's the best place for that call, but the random number generator needs to be initialized somewhere. Here's the call in upstream qqwing: https://github.com/stephenostermiller/qqwing/blob/73027c058d89b8ea517d656c61b43487d75b6ebe/src/cpp/main.cpp#L204 Note that this srand call is in the `main` function, so it's presumably not relevant to callers of the qqwing library, which is what gnome-sudoku is using. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gnome-sudoku depends on: ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.22.0-1 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u4 ii libcairo2 1.14.0-2.1+deb8u1 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.2-10 ii libgee-0.8-2 0.16.1-1+deb8u1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.42.1-1+b1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.14.5-1+deb8u1 ii libjson-glib-1.0-0 1.0.2-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.36.8-3 ii libqqwing2 1.3.2-1 ii libstdc++6 4.9.2-10 Versions of packages gnome-sudoku recommends: ii yelp 3.14.1-1 gnome-sudoku suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
