Please sync Blender 2.61-2 from Debian

IMHO, this should wait until alpha 2 since it's on the Ubuntu Studio images unless the Ubuntu Studio devs want it, I'll monitor this bug for comments, the package builds fine in precise, so that's not a blocker

Hi Guybrush88! Ubuntu Studio has blender seeded for a default install, and we were wondering whether you had tested this new release of it on a precise install yet? Some of us are a little concerned that it hasn't been approved for debian testing yet, so can it be trusted?

Also, if there's no hurry, we might want to wait until Alpha-2 is done, so not to break such a milestone testing.

Thanks!

I'm also going to unsubscribe ubuntu sponsors so this isn't accidentally sync'd by someone, please resubscribe after alpha2 or an Ubuntu Studio dev can comment that they want it and resubscribe ubuntu-sponsors before Monday Jan 30 at 21:00 UTC if they want this in alpha 2.

Re-subscribing ubuntu-sponsors since blender 2.61-2 migrated to Debian testing today.

Thank you. I hope this means I'll go to the 12.04 software center and find a shiny new blender there.

Not sponsoring for the reporter since no public e-mail address is provided, syncing

This bug was fixed in the package blender - 2.61-2
