 In My Settings, Software Update, the updater doesn't complete.

 This is caused by Sugar 0.104 switching default updater backend to ASLO,
 and also a
 [https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/commit/d43b926ffbe61da2400395be1fa09c0a5bc52892
 #diff-4292575b2bd601c8467f96df5d516dc5 change] from using gvfs to libsoup
 for downloading.

 To reconfigure to use the microformat updater:
 {{{
 cat >> /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/sugar.oob.gschema.override << EOF
 [org.sugarlabs.update]
 backend='microformat.MicroformatUpdater'
 microformat-update-url='http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/13.2.3'
 EOF
 /usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
 service olpc-dm restart
 }}}

 Resulting error message is:
 {{{
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-
 packages/jarabe/model/update/microformat.py", line 216, in _got_chunk_cb
     self._parser.feed(data.get_data())
 AttributeError: 'Bytes' object has no attribute 'get_data'
 }}}

 This is caused by g_bytes_get_data method missing from the gobject
 introspection system.

 Workaround is a [http://dev.laptop.org/~quozl/y/1YcSik.txt patch] to use
 unref_to_array instead of get_data, but this won't work on later versions
 of gobject-introspection.

 A better solution is to backport the corresponding gobject-introspection
 package change to our Fedora 18 dropbox.
