[Bug 304516] [NEW] rocksndiamonds does not save highscores

[Frans Slothouber]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: rocksndiamonds

rocksndiamonds:
  Installed: 3.2.4+dfsg-2
  Candidate: 3.2.4+dfsg-2
  Version table:
 *** 3.2.4+dfsg-2 0
        500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/multiverse Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Description:	Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release:	8.04

-------------------

If you finish a level of rocksndiamond you will appear in the hall-of-fame.  
However after a restart of the game all this information is forgotten.

The reason for this is that the data for the hall of fame can not be written to disk.
The reason for this becomes clear when running:

frans at frans-laptop:~$ /usr/games/rocksndiamonds-bin --debug
Player 80 activated.
[Local player is 80 and currently active.]
Player 1: present == 1, connected == 1, active == 1.
Player 	1 is local player.
[snip    ---  finish a level   ----- ]
Player 3 not active.
Player 4 not active.
rocksndiamonds-bin: warning: cannot create main score directory '/usr/games/scores'
rocksndiamonds-bin: warning: cannot create level score directory '/usr/games/scores/frans'
rocksndiamonds-bin: warning: cannot save score for level

The executable can't create or access /usr/games/scores

The question is of course whether it should have access to this directory or if it the data
should be stored in some other directory.
