It can't even, but Urchlay helped me fix: copy manually.

There's a permissions/ownership problem getting able to make/save/read 
game.sav, scores.dat.  New informal maintainer moved away from 
UNIX-style: no more ~/.moria-save rather than a single system-wide 
savefile in game's directory/folder.  Originally I was told make 
/usr/share/games/moria root:root.  I even touched 
/usr/share/games/moria/scores.dat and made it games:games 777 and ran as 
user in games group... sometimes can't create scores.dat... which 
should've been system-wide accessible by all users.  New code messed up 
entire multi-user/UNIX design of the game apparently.  I suspect it's 
also Windows people.

It also has 'code of conduct'.  I'm now questioning whether this 
'upgrade' is worth it... but if I can get it working, I guess I'll 
submit.  Since it's GPL people are free to fork and otherwise conduct 
themselves how they want.
