[Sugar-devel] Initial Release: Sugar packages 0.116 for Arch Linux

[Sebastian Silva]

Thanks,
I installed the remaining packages and the native python-empy package.
While Sugar starts ok, activities fail with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/sugar-activity", line 3, in <module>
    from sugar3.activity import activityinstance
ImportError: No module named sugar3.activity

Getting closer...
Regards,
Sebastian
