Title:
  [SRU] Pathological wont accept any input

Status in pathological package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in pathological source package in Jammy:
  Confirmed
Status in pathological package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  pathological is completely unusable as none of the keyboard or mouse
  input will work. And the game can not be played if the user can not
  control the game.

  [ Test Plan ]

  1. Install pathologial
  2. Use up-down keys to check if different options can be selected
  3. start the game
  4. Use mouse left and right buttons to control
  5. Play the game

  If the package is not fixed, then it will fail in Step 2.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  There is not much change in the code, its only fixing the Python3
  syntax and using '==' instead of 'is'. The change has been in Mantic
  and Debian and there has been no reported regression due to this
  change. And, so I am not expecting any regression for Jammy also. The
  game is already not playable, there can not be a worse regression than
  this.

  [ Other Info ]

  The same fix from Debian is in Mantic.

  Focal has the same package version but the game can be played.

  [ Original Bug Description ]

  cat /etc/lsb-release:
  DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
  DISTRIB_RELEASE=22.04
  DISTRIB_CODENAME=jammy
  DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 22.04 LTS"

  apt policy pathological:
  pathological:
    Geïnstalleerd: 1.1.3-16
    Kandidaat:     1.1.3-16
    Versietabel:
   *** 1.1.3-16 500
          500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/universe amd64 Packages
          500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/universe i386 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  Pathological 1.1.3-16 accepts no input from keyboard or mouse anymore
  under ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

  The same pathological version (1.1.3-16) works without problem under ubuntu 20.04 LTS
  (so it is probably library related)

  Steps to reproduce:
  Start pathological (by commandline or menuitem or starter)
  When titlescreen/openingsmenu appears, try to select any menuitem (can't be done)

  It may be important to know that pygame and probably some other libraries changed:
  20.04
   pygame 1.9.6

  22.04
   pygame 2.1.2 (SDL 2.0.20, Python 3.10.4)
