I was trying to build sugar on my fedora 16 (64 bit) box as instructed here [1]. git clone was successful but ./sugar-jhbuild update failed although I have all the dependencies installed. Following is the strange python error I got,

./sugar-jhbuild update

AttributeError: type object 'BundleModule' has no attribute 'parse_from_xml'

It took me a couple of days to figure the issue. It all went fine after I removed /home/kalpa/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/jhbuild Then all was fine working :-)


In ./sugar-jubuild depscheck there is an warning


Missing packages:
gnome-python2-evince


It can be either ignored or install through
yum install gnome-python2-desktop
