[Slackbuilds-users] higan is in terrible shape

Who's maintaining this build? The .info file says Gabriel Magno, but
the last version update was done by Johannes Schoepfer.

The reason I ask is, higan seems totally broken. Trying to load a ROM
from its GUI, or giving a ROM filename on the command line, gives a
dialog box saying:

Error: missing required file: /home/urchlay/.local/share/higan/Super
Famicom.sys/manifest.bml

This file (and the other support files) are installed to
/usr/share/higan, but strace shows higan never looks there, only in
$HOME/.local/share/higan.

Emulation never starts... and when I try to exit the emulator, it
segfaults.

At least one other user (on IRC) is having the same issues...

I'm not blaming any SBo maintainer for any of this, I just want to know
who last tested this application and whether or not it worked for them.
