Debian is a downstream distribution project that uses Sugar.
 
Packaging of Sugar on Debian is done by a team:
* [https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-sugar/ pkg-sugar project],
* [https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-sugar-devel pkg-sugar-devel mailing list],
* [https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-sugar-commit pkg-sugar-commit mailing list],
* [https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-sugar/ pkg-sugar git repositories],
* [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 experimental archive.
 
Old stable [https://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/ Wheezy Release Information]
 
The Debian wiki has a specific page for Sugar at [https://wiki.debian.org/Sugar '''Debian install Sugar'''], but it is out of date.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" includes parts of 0.96: most of Glucose, but missing most of Fructose.
 
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 [http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=sugar&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all here].
 
Those interested in developing Sugar software should visit our [http://developer.sugarlabs.org/ developer documentation website].

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.
