Package: avida-qt-viewer
Version: 2.0b7-3
Severity: normal 

The Simple Setup option is broken in Debian when creating a new world, failing 
due to a badly created world file that looks in the wrong place for inst_set 
and events.cfg because their location is not able to be specified. Advanced 
setup works properly.

The strace output shows this:
access("/home/rschultz/avida2", F_OK)   = 0
lstat64("/home/rschultz/avida2", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=48, ...}) = 0
access("/home/rschultz/avida2", R_OK)   = 0
access("/home/rschultz/avida2", W_OK)   = 0
** access("/home/rschultz/avida2/inst_set.default", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such 
file or directory)
access("/usr/share/avida/organism.default", F_OK) = 0
access("/usr/share/avida/organism.default", R_OK) = 0
** access("/home/rschultz/avida2/events.cfg", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file 
or directory)
access("/usr/share/avida/environment.cfg", F_OK) = 0
access("/usr/share/avida/environment.cfg", R_OK) = 0
chdir("/home/rschultz/avida2")          = 0

** Starred lines are where the error occurs. It looks in the specified work
directory, where no files have been made yet. This will terminate the
simple setup with an error.

Possible fix strategy: add events.cfg and inst_set selection options to the
simple setup UI, or disable simple setup altogether.
