 I’m running build 802 (release 8.2.1) on my XO-1. The G1G1 activities have
 been updated via Software Update, and the Micropolis activity has been
 installed from a memory stick using the sugar-install-bundle command from
 within the Terminal activity. However, when I try to install either the
 StarChart activity or the x2o activity from the same memory stick using
 sugar-install-bundle, I consistently receive the following error message:

 {{{

 }}}

 The only difference that I’m aware of between successfully installing the
 Micropolis activity and unsuccessfully trying to install the StarChart and
 x2o activities, was that Micropolis was installed ''before'' the XO-1’s
 networking was set up, while the attempts to install StarChart and x2o
 happened ''after'' the networking was set up. (My daughter’s XO-1 has the
 same setup as mine; all three activities were successfully installed on
 hers from the same memory stick before its networking was set up.)

 A search of the existing tickets showed the same exception being noted in
 #6248 and #7811, although neither of those seemed to be connected to the
 Activity Registry.

 If I can provide any other information that would help solve this problem,
 please let me know. (I’m quite comfortable working within a shell, given
 my UNIX programming background. I haven’t used Python, though.)

 Thanks for your help!
