Comment(by lfaraone):

 Replying to [comment:1 walter]:
 > We have discussed this ad nauseum. The consensus (I'll look for the
 thread) was that we want to let users install new versions in
 ~/Activities/ but not over-write the installed versions in /usr/share. We
 also have support for a list of activities that cannot be deleted. That
 said, it sounds like the problem you are describing is better
 characterized by our not properly tagging a upgrade for which versions of
 Sugar it runs on and by our not bundling with the activity any
 dependencies that may be distro-specific. I'd suggest opening a new ticket
 specific to the activity that failed to install properly.

 Sometimes is that XO-bundled activities that are not pure-python are
 bundling
 dependencies that we *already package* in Ubuntu, but for some reason the
 bundle's precompiled version is not binary-compatible with Ubuntu. From a
 system distribution standpoint, we don't want globally installed
 activities to
 be updated via the Sugar updater.
