No need to recompile. Just grab the intrepid wesnoth from launchpad,
and install that (unless you want to play both versions at once). Or
just don't upgrade wesnoth at the time of upgrade, until you've finished
the campaign.

OK, so saved games did not really vanish, but are unusable with Jaunty's
version of Wesnoth - and you want to continue the campaign you already
played a lot. If this is the situation, you have some resources at your
hand, and you are not afraid of the Terminal, keep reading. ;-)

Providing notification of this external to NEWS.Debian would mean adding
it to the Release Notes. Typically, the Release Notes for each flavour
of Ubuntu is restricted to packages shipped by default in that flavour.
As wesnoth is not included by default in any flavour, this package is

Erm, I didn't claim that, you must have misread me. I said that there
propably are valid reasons behind the decision, I just don't know them
offhand. E.g. incompatible changes to the
I agree with Rhonda - changing the directory name seems very
shortsighted. a) What happens when we get to Wesnoth 1.8? b) Is it
really impossible to create saved game files so that they have
versioning info, and the game can say "sorry, we can't open that file
now"? It seems to be it does this anyw

I have the same problem here; but I don't think that it is an upstream
problem, in fact, I think it is an Ubuntu special problem. I had this
kind of problem before, when updating Ubuntu from 8.04 to 8.10, and for
now I see it to be not a Wesnoth specific problem. It affects the whole
Ubuntu lifecyc
I realise conversion is hard/impossible, and I agree you can't be
expected to support both versions. But I would happily have delayed my
upgrade to Jaunty by a week if I had known that this was coming. So I
guess what I'm really looking for is a warning at the start of the
upgrade process. Is there
