I believe this bug is caused by changes made to Ubuntu's version of Ogre. See also

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ogre-1.8/+bug/1244592

The version of Ogre differs from the one in Debian.

The value for "Pluginfolder" in

/usr/share/games/freeorion/ogre_plugins.cfg

is generated at build-time and points on amd64 to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/OGRE-1.8.0.

Since the version of Ogre is different, the plugins can't most likely be found. Although I noticed that an Ubuntu patch tries to compensate this by symlinking the OGRE-1.8.1 plugin folder to OGRE-1.8.0.

What happens if you change the value of Pluginfolder to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/OGRE-1.8.1 ?

Maybe a rebuild will resolve the issue?
