Dear Maintainers,

libopenexr-3-1-30 3.4.6+ds1 and 3.4.6+ds2, released yesterday (Mar 12) in
unstable, make blender unable to run.

blender requires libIex-3_1.so.30 while the updated packages provide
libIex-3_4.so.33, resulting in a classic shared library open error:

blender: error while loading shared libraries: libIex-3_1.so.30:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Downgrading libopenexr-3-1-30 to 3.1.13-2+b1 fixes the issues


Best regards and thanks for the good work,

Miranda

I had the exact same problem on Devuan yesterday, your fix worked for me
too. Thanks for sharing.
(Devuan Excalibur ~= Forky, plus manual picks from unstable; unstable
Blender 4.3.2+dfsg-2.)
