[Bug 1976312] [NEW] [SRU] Pathological wont accept any input

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Sudip Mukherjee (sudipmuk):

[ 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)
