Description Mick T. 2006-12-21 01:07:12 EST 
Postal2 fails to start with the following error:

$ postal2 
MisingIni

History: 

Exiting due to error


Postal2.log in ~/.lgp/postal2/System has the following:

Log: Log file open, Thu Dec 21 01:04:00 2006
Init: Name subsystem initialized
Init: Version: 1409

Exit: Exiting.
Uninitialized: Name subsystem shut down

Also, there are no .ini files in  ~/.lgp/postal2/System . Let me know if you want the output of strace, or if I can provide any more info. This is the Postal Fudge Pack DVD edition (just got it as an early Xmas present).

This is running on Debian Testing/Unstable.

The .ini files you need are in Bug #2955.
