After upgrade to the recent sdl_image 1.2.11, pygame.image reports error on img.get_palette():

import pygame
img = pygame.image.load('/usr/share/solarwolf/data/fire.png')
pal = img.get_palette()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
error: Surface has no palette to get

As a result the game solarwolf is no longer playable.

This is fixed in 1.2.12 which is being released shortly.
