Solution for those that need hand-holding:
1) Download the 16.04 LTS version of ioquake3 from one of the links
listed here:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/ioquake3/download
2) Extract the game data
cd /tmp
mv ~/Downloads/ioquake3_1.36+u20160122+dfsg1-1_amd64.deb ioquake.deb
ar x ioqua
I verified - had broken OpenArena on KUbuntu 18.04 LTS, replaced the
ioquake3 file with the version from ioquake3_1.36+u20160122+dfsg1-1_amd64
and it worked. Now I have a playable OpenArena. Many thanks to poster #17.

I'm using Xorg drivers, not Wayland, although a wayland-ish Mesa library
