Hi,
1. I'm able to reproduce the reported error in a Container (needs ssh -XY 
obviously)
2. I did some cleanup on the patch (headers) which was otherwise good
3. a further small cleanup on the version number to match the needs for an SRU 
[1]
4. I built it in a ppa [2] and tested it successfully from there.

With that in place I think it is fine to be sponsored for the SRU Teams
evaluation which I did.

FYI: I'm blocked at another issue later on, but that might be due to ma
unreal testbed. The reported bug here is solved. Maybe one with a real
system for it can give the PPA or at least -proposed a shot for
verification.

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * Backport upstream fix for overzealous version check on SDL lib
+ 
+  * Without that fix the tool isn't usable at all in Bionic.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * Install and run the program
+    $ protracker
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * This only disables a check that was broken, but since we backported as-
+    upstream it now doesn't check at all for the SDL versions anymore.
+    In theory that could break it in some cases, but Linux dependencies are 
+    proper ABI versioned anyway so that should not be a real issue.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+  
+  * While a no-change rebuild would fix the immediate error, any later push 
+    to SDL would break it again, so use the real fix.

  protracker refuses to start with the following message:
  
      The loaded SDL2 library is not the expected version, the program
  will terminate.
  
      Loaded library version:2.0.8
      Required (compiled with) version: 2.0.7
  
  This is in Ubuntu 18.04.
