Re: Blender on debian

[glenn <gdavy@tpg.com.au>]

I installed it ages ago & it worked fine, I reguarly apt-get update &
upgrade||dist-upgrade, and one day I noticed blender in the downloads,
thought to my self woohoo (looking forward to the rewritten game
engine), and tried to run it - this is what I got. I've downgraded back
a step & it works fine, but I'd still like to sort it out.
