I'm guessing you installed Blender through a package manager, instead of downloading it from https://www.blender.org/download/?

Installing the python3-requests package should solve the problem then, though ideally that should be installed automatically along with the Blender package.

Hiya Brecht,
Yes, I installed the flatpak version of Blender, since it installs and updates automatically to the latest version.
As you know the flatpak version should include all the dependencies it needs.
However, 'Python3-requests' is installed in the system too since I had the Linux Mint Repo version of Blender and removed it as it doesn't install the latest version, their current latest being '2.76.b+dfsg0-3build1'
Anyhow, I installed the entire Python3-requests library into the system... at no avail.
The exact same error is displayed.
I'm not too surprised as flatpak uses it own dependencies and probably none of the system's; telling me that 'Python3-requests' is most probably not included or incomplete in the flatpack version of Blender...
I also thought that maybe glibc wasn't installed or an old version, but glibc 2.23 is currently installed in the system

So, what do you recommend I should do next??

Well, I took it upon myself to DL and install the version from Blender.org and this one did work. Telling me, definitely, that 'Python3-requests' is surely missing from the Flatpak version...

Thanx for your help,

Cheers,

EmJay

If you want support for the packaged version of Blender, you have to submit the bug report to your Linux distribution / maintainer for the Flatpack package.

On Linux the official Blender archive doesn't require installation, just to be unpacked to a Folder in your Home directory, or a drive that is accessible / writable. You can have multiple versions side by side.

Yes; Thanx a lot Vuk, I did just that and it does work as it is supposed to... However, it won't update itself automatically... You know, that lazy "thing", we Linux users love so much: Auto Update/Upgrade... Hehehehe!!
Thanx,
Cheers!!

I've reported the issue to the flatpak bug tracker, nothing we can do further on our side.

This should be fixed now, once the build finishes:
