<div>I don't trust magic fixes. (btw, I believe that this problem was xapian corruption due to xapian not flushing correctly. I will update the page when datastore can recover from xapian corruption.)</div>

<div>On the contrary, this is my top priority, and what I am working on. But I´m doing a comprehensive fix to bundle format, not just a band-aid. (partly because there are many existing activities with broken MANIFEST, partly because sugar's versioning/installation is currently too rudimentary to support a decent Develop workflow). Dataloss is not good, and when the target audience is kids you can't blame the victim. Activity.info can be manual - errors are fixable - but MANIFEST must be bulletproof, because errors mean dataloss.</div>
