Err, no, don't contaminate your system.  Just rebuild the debian package 
and install the .debs:

$ sudo aptitude install build-essential devscripts
$ dget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/renaissance/renaissance_0.9.0-4.dsc
$ cd renaissance-*
$ sudo apt-get build-dep renaissance
$ DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="noopt nostrip" dpkg-buildpackage
$ sudo dpkg -i ../*.deb

That's it.  You can then downgrade to -3 or wait a few days for -4 to 
migrate to squeeze (aptitude will then replace your manually built 
packages with the official ones, because the checksums won't match).

But as I told you, there's no need to bother with renaissance right now.  
Just post the backtrace, we'll see later if this step is necessary.
