Subject: LXDE missing from tasksel

Package: tasksel
Version: 3.69devuan1

We removed lxde from tasksel a few releases ago because of polkit
problems. Those problems appear to be fixed.

Please add lxde to the list of desktop choices in tasksel.

LXDE is still alive and well. Last commit on their git was yesterday.

Hi,

> Please add lxde to the list of desktop choices in tasksel.

AFAIK, this is was done in version 3.65+devuan1[1][2]. Where do you think it is
still missing?

Thanks

Mark

If I run tasksel in a terminal, lxde is not in the list. Screenshot attached.

I see the entry for lxde in the changelog, but I don't see it in the
tasks/ directory. Just lxqt.

Thanks.

I have cleaned all that up and reduced our delta from Debian.

New version building.
