This game use love game engine, but it require love 0.9.2 version, and Mageia 7.1 has the love 11.2 version.

Thank you for reporting this.
Confirmed. The console O/P *before* the given traceback was:

 $ urpmq --requires super-space-invader
 love
does not show any version. Its site says 0.9.2:
 http://nova-fusion.com/games/super-space-invader

It looks as if the game is way behind 'love'. As long ago as 2016 is the comment "no support for love 0.10.x so far", and nothing since. I suspect this game cannot be saved (i.e. should be dropped), but

Assigning to Rémi for super-space-invader in case the packaging can be adapted. You (R) will be able to judge. This is still in Cauldron too.

Thanks for the report. I was aware of it but then forgot, see upstream issue: https://github.com/mebens/super-space-invader/issues/6

I'll drop the package as I don't intend to provide love 0.9.2 just for this one. Too bad because it's a nice game :) (but you can play it from http://nova-fusion.com/games/super-space-invader easily using the .love file and with love 0.9.2 downloaded from the official website).

Comment 4 Rémi Verschelde 2021-01-15 13:07:32 CET

Fixed in Cauldron. I can't drop the package in Mageia 7 so this can't be fixed there.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
