Update: Turns out that it was an upgrade to Ubuntu gone bad. Man, with the PPA added, had a choice of THREE openshot(s) to choose from by looking at it via force version in the package manager.

Not visible unless you use Synaptic's Package>Force Version with Open Shot selected.
1.2.2-maverick
1.2.2-maverick1 (the correct one)
and
1.2.2-1

Also killed off and recreated my ~/blender25 directory...this seems to be a part of my error as it worked after deleting it and re-adding my decompressed blender files there.

Did an apt-get remove purge of the software, then re-added the Open Shot PPA. Success using Blender 2.55 in a /home folder as described in the howto.

Honestly though, how about just creating a script to download this automatically? From there, one can type in the needed info for the path in OpenShot? Seems logical and would save people a lot of frustration. Even better.

New instructions to remove existing installs of Blender and to add the right version to the Open Shot PPA? Am I missing something here? :)
