[Sugar-devel] Install sucrose

[Tony Anderson]

Hi, James

Alex Perez identified the problem correctly. I needed to run:

sudo apt-get update

before

sudo apt install sucrose

For me, the real concern is that someone attracted to try Sugar may be 
turned away be incomplete installation instructions.
