telepathy-gabble is where Tubes interface was dropped. > On Ubuntu 14.04 builds with Sugar 0.107.0, I'm using [...] > telepathy-gabble-legacy 0.16.7 > On Ubuntu 15.10 builds with Sugar 0.107.0, I'm using [...] > telepathy-gabble-legacy 0.16.7 Who _maintains_ that telepathy-gabble-legacy package? I created such package and put it online at http://debian.jones.dk/ but was strongly adviced against releasing it officially to Debian (read: step up as maintainer for it) and decided to follow that advice mainly due to the security implications (the code is big and contains e.g. TLS code likely to be vulnerable to BEAST and other recent attacks which I am not skilled to fix). > I don't have a test case for collaboration failure due to Tubes API > missing. The feature page doesn't say. I can't find a bug report. As I recall, Chat via Jabber (i.e. when connected to a central server) uses Tubes.

I decided to drop Sugar completely from what became the current stable release of Debian in the spring, when I learned about this bug after we had entered the "freeze" of that release about a year ago. I dearly hope that Sugar can soon re-enter Debian testing again - not only for inclusion into next stable Debian, but also for the benefit of Debian derivatives invcluding Ubuntu (so please to not relax about the very slow release process of Debian).
