The problem is not obvious but it arises when trying to install an add-on in which this python code is used: bpy.app.build_revision For example, this one: https://github.com/zeffii/GL-fillet/ The plugin is added from the user preferences interface but it is impossible to activate. The solution for me has been installing blender from ppa:irie/blender.
