Not sure if this is the correct list but I couldn't find a better match. I'm currently trying to install sugar (Sucrose) on Debian lenny (fresh install on a laptop) using sugar-jhbuild (the official packages are rather old) as root. There are several problems; inconsistent instructions don't make it any easier. In general, I'm following the "Sugar on Debian" wiki page [1]. That page in itself is already a bit inconsistent (e.g. last sentence of first paragraph vs. section 1.3.3). If there's no objection I'm going to fix that and some of the things mentioned below. Most of the problems seem to be search path related (so probably have the main root cause); for the last one, I haven't found any solution or workaround yet so I'm stuck. Problems encountered so far: 1. "build-base" has been renamed to "bootstrap" in sugar-jhbuild, but   even the output of --help-commands gives the old name (how about   autogeneration of the commands list?). 2. "bootstrap" fails in some random package because libbz2-dev wasn't   installed (not mentioned on the wiki page) => Python didn't build   bz2 module</blockquote><div> Boostrap is a jhbuild command which we don't usually use for sugar. Can you try to do a clean build without it? Marco </div></div>
