[Sugar-devel] Debian Advocacy for Sugar - Update

[Chihurumnaya Ibiam]

Thanks for the update Shaan,

The error you shared in 2) happens in #840 like you said but the traceback
in the logs is seen for the first time
and looks like it's a Python 3 port regression, kindly open an issue in
sugar so it can be tracked.

Can you confirm that 3) is caused by libglib2.0-dev not listed as a
dependency in the control file?

Could you open an issue for 4) in the write repo?

I find the markdown rendered as HTML convenient and most of it appears as
plaintext
<http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2020-June/058403.html> in
the devel archive,
except the bullet points that start with a `-` above them.
