Can you remember what you did that stopped it from reproducing?  I'd
like to know how far back to rewind snapshots.

I've tried, but unable to reproduce; here's my method, on Debian
Stretch plus sugar-toolkit-gtk3 0.110.0-4;

- download moon-17.xo to Documents directory using wget,

- in Journal, click on moon-17.xo,

Activity is installed and starts.  Bundle file remains in Documents
directory as intended.

Also unable to reproduce.

Speculative review of commits touching sugar-install-bundle and
sugar3/bundle gave me no likely causes.

Code in the traceback, working backwards, means;

- a path was given to instantiate Bundle, by ActivityBundle,

- a path was given to instantiate ActivityBundle, by
  sugar-install-bundle,

- a path was given to sugar-install-bundle by the shell,

- the path was to a file that did not exist.

Perhaps character set and locale; please capture more data, and the
error, and hide it from e-mail clients, like this;

$ echo `pwd`/sonic_jump-4.xo | od -t x1 > log
$ locale >> log
$ sugar-install-bundle `pwd`/sonic_jump-4.xo >> log 2>&1

And attach the file log to your reply.
