nice,thanks .Got blender 2.59.
You are welcome. The repository just been updated few hours ago to blender 2.59.
Blender 2.59.2 seems to be very broken. At least on my system it’s not working properly. 2.58 used to work fine. It also doesn’t have ffmpeg support in Natty, so video export is also broken. Going back to 2.58 until this is fixed.
Thanks, shame synaptic is still on 2.49 o_O
You are welcome. Yes Ubuntu local repository usually don’t keep up for currently stable release

No problems on 64bit Linux Mint. But 32bit Linux Mint 11 still installs a 64bit version (the only one, I presume) and fails.
