Package: freevo Followup-For: Bug #480309 Had this problem as well. Appears to be limited to amd64 machines and the source is in the pygame package. Patch to pygame is below and included in freevo SVN branch for v1.x. Recompiled pygame after removing python 2.4 deps as the patch seems to depend on v2.5 and all is working here.
