Debian is a downstream distribution project that uses Sugar.
 
 
 
Packaging of Sugar on Debian is done by a team:

* [https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-sugar-devel pkg-sugar-devel mailing list],

* [http://debian.jones.dk/pkg/sugar_/ package archive of Jonas Smedegaard],
 
 
 
Sugar is not in the current stable ''Jessie'' release, as it did not work properly.  But this has been fixed and Sugar can be installed from the testing ''Stretch'' release.

The Debian wiki has a specific page for Sugar at [https://wiki.debian.org/Sugar '''Debian install Sugar'''], but it is out of date.
 
 
 
The old stable Debian 7.0 "Wheezy" release included parts of 0.96: most of Glucose, but missing most of Fructose.
 
 
 
Sucrose packages are usually updated in the unstable release. These packages migrate to the testing release after a while. You can see the current package versions [http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=sugar&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all here].

This was my workaround to this problem:
 
 
 
1. /etc/apt/sources.list
 
 
 
  deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
 
  deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
 
 
 
2. update the package database
 
 
 
  sudo apt-get update
 
 
 
3. download the source code
 
 
 
  cd /tmp
 
  mkdir pygobject
 
  apt-get source python-gi
 
 
 
4. install dependecies
 
 
 
  sudo apt-get build-dep python-gi
 
  sudo apt-get install python-gobject-2-dbg
 
 
 
5. compile python-gi
 
 
 
  cd pygobject-3.2.0
 
  wget -c http://mkaufmann.com.ar/~humitos/olpc/pygi-d37680bb9390426f7f58ea3d352c3e5e2106e978_modified.patch
 
  git apply pygi-d37680bb9390426f7f58ea3d352c3e5e2106e978_modified.patch
 
  dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
 
 
 
6. install compiled packages
 
 
 
  sudo dpkg -i ../*.deb
 
 
 
Now, when I run "./sugar-jhbuild run sugar-emulator" I can see the
 
icons and the toolbar properly.
 
== Testing ==
 
Where Debian is installed via the Debian installer or virtual machine, Sugar has been reported to run nicely.
 
:Sugar 0.88.0 works nicely in Debian squeeze.
 
Low footprint versions (eg no Gnome Display Manager) with SLiM and Openbox only, are reported [[User:Inkyfingers/Debian | in this link]] to cause a problem.
