[Svein Engelsgjerd]

Package: blender
Version: 2.74+dfsg0-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
   Performing a package upgrade on 'Stretch'

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   Tried restarting spacenavd , verified that is is running and is same version as in Jessie.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
    Blender 2.74 does not appear to work with spacenavd anymore.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
   I expected Blender 2.74 to work with my NDOF device (3dConnexion Spacenavigator) just as good as v2.72
