Current "stable" squeeze release notes

The Debian wiki has a specific page for Sugar at Debian install Sugar

The Debian installer will install Debian to a hard drive, where Sugar has been tested to run well on Squeeze.

Sugar versions 0.84, 0.86. and 0.88 are offered on Squeeze.

Sucrose packages are usually updated in the unstable repository. These packages migrate to the testing repository after a while. You can see the current package versions here.

If you want up-to-the-minute freshness (and brokenness), you can use jhbuild to build from source instead of using the released packages.

Debian squeeze + Sugar Desktop, Emulator image files, Virtual Appliance for VirtualBox 4.0

Fixing dependencies in Wheezy

This article descibes the process to compile Sugar on Debian testing Wheezy, in order to install sugar-jhbuild.

GTK3 in Debian Wheezy

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 in this link to cause a problem.
