The last system upgrade replaced Blender version 2.79 (with which I modelled all frisian units so far) with 2.80, which apparently has some changes in the physics engine and therefore crashes immediately when trying to open one of the blend files.

BLI_assert failed: /build/blender-ydgaLT/blender-2.80+dfsg/source/blender/blenloader/intern/versioning_280.c:2417, blo_do_versions_280(), at 'ar_header'

So this is just to say that the blend files seem to be incompatible with anything newer than 2.79.

And a bit of a noob question, how do I tell APT to downgrade blender to 2.79? sudo apt install blender=2.79 just tells me version not found.

Did you try

sudo apt list -a blender

to see what versions are available? Maybe you need to specify 2.79b or something like that. I Don't have Linux here to try it myself.

apt list -a blender shows me

blender/eoan,now 2.80+dfsg-3 amd64  [installiert]
blender/eoan 2.80+dfsg-3 i386

So I guess I would have to find some PPA or use the repos of an older ubuntu release…

I now installed blender 2.79b manually instead (without the packaging system) so I can at least view and edit blender models again

I was able to open this blender file with 2.80:

https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~widelands-media-dev/widelands-media/widelands-media/view/head:/graphics/tribes/frisians/workers/baker/walk_e/baker.blend

Seems to be a problem with your installation, I assume.

More precisely it´s all frisian buildings with certain blender physics in them, such as wind (waving flags). Namely, at least the idle anims of all fri warehouses and militarysites, idle and working of trainingsites, the ship sail anims, and fri&atl resis. Can you open those with 2.80?

I'm able to open all of them without any problem. Since you're on Ubuntu, try the snap packages. Here you can choose between 2.80 & 2.79b

Thanks for the hint, will try the snap packs.

2.80 reproducably crashes for me, but perhaps it is a linux-specific error…:

I have crashes on Mac now. But for different files. I cannot open the barbarians scout hut.

Maybe we need to open a bugreport for blender.

There is always the solution to copy and past in a clean 2.80 file. You get the same error when you do that?
