Description

Yes

System Info

Package(s) Affected

blender-5.0.0_1 3D graphics creation suite

Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

Blender 5.0.0_1 reports "Boolean solver not available (compiled without it)" when using Sculpt Trim tools. The official Blender 5.0 build works correctly on the same system and project. This suggests the Void package may have been built without a required dependency or feature related to the Boolean solver.

Research direction

Inspect the blender-5.0.0_1 package recipe and build output, then compare its enabled features and dependencies with the official Blender 5.0 build. Reproduce the failure with the Box Trim tool in Object, Edit, and Sculpt mode. Done means the Void package provides a working Boolean solver and the tool performs the cut.
