(And whatever route we have to take, I'm happy to do prepare the necessary uploads.) http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/sugar-calculate-activity.git;a=commitdiff;h=77290bbd596bdb4dd9b76196f09586a1cd492172 shows the needed fix. --end-- > I would love to see the new sugar packages in lenny too.

Well, we could make the 0.81 packages work, but then Debian would be the only distribution shipping this outdated and known buggy release. So, really, I would prefer removal or 0.82. Releaseteam, please have a look at http://sugarlabs.org/go/Image:Sucrose-0-82-roadmap.png - which contrary to its title also includes 0.81 and which shows that the 0.81 we have in lenny is early release of that cycle, while I propose to package 0.82 which is the latest stable version in this branch, to which no new changes have been done since August. If you say "0.82 might be an option, please prepare the packages to unstable and we will see, but no guaranties", I'll do that (and accept whatever outcome then), else I think they should be removed. (I'm still looking for someone who would prefer to have 0.81 in lenny, but I assume everybody would prefer not to have it in lenny and receive 0.82 via backports.org shortly after lenny is released.) I'm asking as fixing 0.82, which indeed needs to be done anyway, is a bit work, and I'm short on time, so I try to priorize. regards, Holger, who didnt plan to get involved in sugar packaging that much, but I didnt expect the current main maintainer to neglect lenny either...
