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 On Sat, Mar 07,

Hi Alex and James, Could you please point us toward the current sugar packages for Debian Buster? We don't have anyone with the skills at this point to maintain Debian packages, but we can at least test the current packages, contribute to filing bug reports and writing documentation. We are
