  (me again)
Reproduction steps : 
- Go to Software Center
- Go to games>GGZBoard>Install
- Launch
- GUI appears
- Click on Shogi
- Silent crash
- open terminal
- $bbzboard
- Click on Shogi
- End of output : 
(self.pout, self.pin) = os.popen2("gnushogi")
/bin/sh: gnushogi: not found
shogi greeting >>> 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/games/ggzboard", line 1267, in <module>
    core.main(fullscreen)
  File "/usr/games/ggzboard", line 260, in main
    self.rungame()
  File "/usr/games/ggzboard", line 761, in rungame
    game.init(themepath)
  File "/usr/lib/ggz-python/ggzboard/module_shogi.py", line 97, in init
