Package: snowballz
Version: 0.9.5.1-2
Followup-For: Bug #444237

 As promised, here are my second email for PowerPC.

 Well, finally the problem on my PowerPC system was not related with
the snowballz package at all and was simply resolved by reinstalling
python-pygame (I have no idea what has gone wrong, but anyway).

 At least it explains why the error message was different.

 Still, I get some minor error, so since I am already posting I repport
them here just in case it could be useful:

 I have no idea why it said that I have no sound card, but the sound does
work properly in the game on PPC.  Anyway, this seems harmless and this
problem apparently doesn't appears on PowerPC.
