Public bug reported: While trying to install Doomsday from here; https://launchpad.net/~sjke/+archive/ubuntu/doomsday/ installation worked except for installation of libsdl2-2.0-0 and libsdl2-2.0-0.
I then ran doomsday from terminal (no symbolic links) and doomsday crashed out with std: bad_alloc error message. System Problem Detected error messages for 3 packages; libsdl2-2.0-0, libsdl2-2.0-0 and doomsday loaded-up immediately afterwards.
