Manual validation

Caution

There's something missing in the install wizard. It's currently unable to launch.

Caution

Close as not planned with reason: Unsatisfiable dependencies.

This package requires an installed Quake game. vkQuake rely on it.

Since the official download center has been shutdown for a long time. It's dependency can't be satisfied.

This is probably the same case as other Open Source id Soft game engines. It requires the data files to be manually copied. This is not an uncommon thing or a bug. And you can get the game files legally on sites such as GOG or Steam.
