Hello,
After complaints from users, I have removed all the -0.90 (faulty) packages
from PPA.
I am starting a fresh with the newer versions of Sugar Packages.
* Previously I started with presence service but found to be stuck with
Dependency tree.
Now I am following the method mentioned below: (The method is based on a bit
of trial and errors to actually get all the packages in order).
- Started from the package on the root of Dependency tree. (Sugar, available
at PPA).
- Downloaded the source package from download.sugarlabs.org . (easy step)
- Cloned git repository of Jonas' Sugar debian package:
http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/sugar.git (easy step)
-- I needed a proper debian folder (and not to forget the updated one).
- Copied the debian folder from repo to the extracted source tarball. (easy
step)
- Changed the debian/control and control.in files to add the 'Conflicts' and
'Replaces' fields. (new step)
-- here is the paste of what I changed: http://paste.ubuntu.com/523095/
-- NOTE: Check carefully for 'Conflicts' and 'Replaces' for all packages.
- Once done with above, updated the debian/changelog (using dch -i) (very
easy)
-- here is the paste.
- Built that package with 'debuild' command. Renamed .orig tarballs wherever
applicable.
- Checked all the packages for 'Conflicts'. If found, removed the package
from the system and then continued installing again.
- Unmet Dependencies found. (sugar-base, sugar-toolkit, etc)
Repeated process for the Dependencies.
I think we are getting close to the solution. The only part we need to be
careful of is the changelog, control and control.in files.
We also need a test PPA for full testing of the packages.
Rest I think is going well with the issue.

Dipankar
FYI:
As a test, I just now did a fresh install of 10.04 LTS (using a USB
prepared with Ubuntu Usb Startup Disk Creator) to a 320GB external HD.
Upgraded (135 pkgs) and then followed the instructions on the wiki's to
add the ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sugarteam/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-sugar-remix
On reboot, I got a USR with no activities. I then used a 2nd USB to
drag-drop surf-115.xo and Browse-115w.xo into the journal
http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/Surf-115.xo
http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/Browse-115w.xo (This is an experimental
browse which seems to work in USR)
I then started surf and connected to ASLO to download IRC-5;
terminal-31; record-79; read Etexts-21 and they all work.

Yes, this sounds correct.
The part that might 'feel' wrong is the fact the many of the
dependencies are interrelated and some are circular. You will not be
able to make a nice checklist and work through the dependencies in a
set order. Instead, you will have to tug on lose strings a little bit
at a time(by trial and error) until the knot comes undone.
