ZSNES Broken in Ubuntu Linux 8.10 Intrepid Ibex

By Quintin Riis | Jan 6, 2009

I’ve just about had it with Ubuntu.  The last three or four versions have introduced all sorts of breakage when installed.

The latest thing they’ve messed up is ZSNES.  I just finished doing a clean install of Ubuntu 8.10, only to find that the version of ZSNES in the repos is broken!

A quick workaround to this is to install the version for gutsy from:

http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/z/zsnes/zsnes_1.510-1_i386.deb

Then open a terminal and issue the command

# aptitude hold zsnes

To keep it from being overwritten by updates.
