With today's update from beta1 to beta1+svn25154 (karmic) something broke on my installation. Tried to start XBMC and it showed a black screen and X's mousepointer. I killed the process and had a look into the logfile and it said that it couldn't find special://xbmc/media/icon.png.
As special://xbmc was mapped to /usr/lib/xbmc and no more to /usr/share/xbmc of course it can't find any graphics as they reside in /usr/share/xbmc/media.
So my question is: is XBMC svn25154 broken or is my system broken? In other words: should the media files now reside under /usr/lib/xbmc and the upgrade didn't complete or is this mapping somehow defective?
EDIT:
I had a look at the files invoked and the called binary is /usr/share/xbmc/xbmc.bin which itself is a symlink to /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin. Might it be that xbmc somehow resolves the absolute path to the real binary and takes it's path as the mapping for special://xbmc?
