Since I can help only w/ Sweets (and can't w/ native packages)..

Are you still on Ubuntu-11.04?
If yes, the `sweets -S sdk/sugar:emulator` should work
and I even can run Pippy w/o errors (though, I can't test camers
example).

For setup.py command, you need to upgrade your sweets to 1.0.5

and use these installations
