[Pkg-blender-maintainers] Bug#361861: blender: 3ds importer is broken

[Takeshi Hakamata]

Package: blender
Version: 2.41-1
Severity: normal

3ds file import script is broken.  When importing a 3ds file, you will
get an error message on the console and nothing will be loaded into blender.
I tried importing many 3ds models and always get the same error except for
the value of the object.  IIRC, I didn't have a problem importing 3ds
files in blender 2.40.  Here is the error message:

  Using Python version 2.3
  --------------------------------
  Importing "/home/tkh/HanSolo.3ds"
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<string>", line 646, in my_callback
    File "<string>", line 634, in load_3ds
    File "<string>", line 603, in process_main_chunk
    File "<string>", line 260, in process_object_block
    File "<string>", line 199, in getUniqueName
  ValueError: object "obj0" not found
  Saved session recovery to /home/tkh/.blender/quit.blend

I used HanSolo.3ds model which is available at the following URL:
