Main menu option comes up instead of context specific menu

[Kraitos]

I've installed Singularity 0.30b on Ubuntu 11.04 and I am getting a
strange bug - nearly half of the in-game buttons show a main menu when
clicked. I.e. "finance" button, or "Items" in "Knowledge".

The following messages are printed in the console at the same time:

That means it's crashing, and the code is catching it. It looks like it's
coming from the locale stuff, so try playing around with the language.

I don't have time to fix this right now, unfortunately.

The workaround is to use locale.format_string() instead of
locale.format() in g.py

Is this something I can do if I installed from Ubuntu Software Centre?
If so, where can I find this file?

It's python, so you should have the source already. The traceback says
it's in:
/usr/share/singularity/code/g.py line 270.

(I'll try to spend a couple hours taking care of this properly in a week
or two, but I'm moving right now.)

Got it! replaced four lines and finished the game!
