This do not sound right.

The task is for Sugar on a Debian Edu desktop. The problem is that there are very few sugar packages in Debian (both testing and unstable). If the package lists in education-desktop-sugar is wrong, please provide information on exactly what is wrong. This is the current task content. What is wrong with it?
