As a workaround, can you try moving the openttd folder from /usr/bin/ to /usr/games/?

It’s not a folder, just the executable – everything else is installed correctly (manpage in /usr/share/man/man6, other game files in /usr/share/games/openttd).

Of course I could move it, but it works as is. This is not a functionality problem, just a matter of adhering to conventions of the rest of the system.

I don't think this is an issue in the actual OpenTTD source code, but rather in the configuration of the build service for the .deb files

FWIW, my distribution (openSUSE) doesn't use /usr/games and google says /usr/games is an old way of doing things

i honestly don't see the point, but if it's common in deb-based distros, it should be limited to those.

So we have two options:

• restore default value as it was in configure
• set the correct folder when building the release

@glx22 : I am fine with either one. Seems nobody else has an opinion about it either, so .. just pick one, I would say :D Which one helps the broader audience most, you think?
