I removed olpc-switch-desktop from module but sugar still starts at first
boot. what actually happens is, now i cannot switch to gnome form sugar. I
can see these below sugar packages are still installed from my package list
of build. I think there is still some dependencies left to remove.
sugar-0.112.olpc.0-0.noarch
sugar-artwork-0.112.olpc.0-0.armv7hl
sugar-datastore-0.112.olpc.0-0.armv7hl
sugar-toolkit-gtk3-0.112.olpc.0-0.armv7hl
