Bug#702515: blender: 2.66a-1 cannot find scripts, still uses version string for system path

[Antonio Ospite]

Package: blender
Version: 2.66a-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After applying the fix for the crash in #702503 blender starts but it cannot
find the scripts dir and complains with errors like:

  pyrna_srna_ExternalType: failed to find 'bpy_types' module
  ...
  search for unknown operator 'WM_OT_context_set_enum', 'WM_OT_context_set_enum'
  ...
  search for unknown operator 'WM_OT_url_open', 'WM_OT_url_open'
  ...

It looks like blender still looks for the system path with the version string
in it.

As a workaround we can set the environment variable:
BLENDER_SYSTEM_SCRIPTS=/usr/share/blender/scripts blender

I am going to send a patch to fix that as a follow up to the report.

Thanks,
   Antonio
