Dear Maintainer,

I installed hivelytracker, but it failed to start because of a missing ttf directory.

The following error message was displayed:

$ hivelytracker

Unable to open '/usr/share/hivelytracker/ttf/DejaVuSansMono.ttf'
Segmentation fault

I checked whether the file is existed:

$ ls '/usr/share/hivelytracker/ttf/DejaVuSansMono.ttf'
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/hivelytracker/ttf/DejaVuSansMono.ttf': No such file or directory

I then obtained debian source packages and compared it with the upstream source.

$ diff <(ls ./hivelytracker-1_9) <(ls ./hivelytracker-1.9+git20221114+ds/)

13a14

< ttf

It appears that the ttf directory is missing from the debian package.
As a result, /usr/share/hivelytracker/ttf was not created during instllation.

As a workaround,copying the ttf directory manually makes it work:

# cp -r ./ttf /usr/share/hivelytracker/ttf
$ hivelytracker
