Bug#702420: blender: 2.66-2 fails to configure, errors when bytecompiling some addons

[Antonio Ospite]

Package: blender
Version: 2.66-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

the new blender 2.66-2 from experimental does not configure correctly, it
looks like it fails when bytecompiling some python addons.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Setting up blender (2.66-2) ...
  File "/usr/share/blender/scripts/addons/io_scene_ms3d/ms3d_spec.py", line 116

dpkg: error processing blender (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 blender
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The two errors are about functionalities introduced in python-3.3[1]

By looking at the dependencies with "apt-get show" I can see it depends on
both python3 (>= 3.3) and python3.2, and in fact the letter is used in
/var/lib/dpkg/info/blender.postinst

The issue can be worked around by editing this file and replacing "3.2" with
"3.3" until a proper fix is available.

In the source package I see both python3-dev and pynton3.3-dev in build deps,
maybe this is what is confusing the build system making it add a dep on
3.2?

BTW, even if configuration succeeds after the hack from above the program
crashes here, but this is matter for another report :)

Thanks,
   Antonio
