[Sugar-devel] Greetings from Sugar Labs DC!

[James Cameron]

There was a mistake in my python3-carquinyol package from the
sugar-datastore module.  It did not explicitly replace the
python-carquinyol package from the Raspbian archive.

I've fixed it, and tested the install again.

	sudo apt update
	sudo apt install sucrose

I believe James Cameron has some current Sugar packages for Debian he may be able/willing to share with you. We are actually in need of someone to take over packaging of the Sugar packages in Debian. Is that something you might be interested in helping us with?

I am helping out a student who has a capstone project of helping Sugar Labs DC to use Sugar on Debian Buster. The GitHub for installing Sugar on Debian Buster has not updated in quite sometime. Since most of the hardware we have (mainly raspberry pi 3B+ and 4) run Debian Buster, I wonder if there is a way to install Sugar on Debian Buster as this will be a huge help with labs and events for our elementary and early childhood education students.
