confirmed: with jessie repos, lxde (or, more appropriately"lxde-core") is installable
refresher (for me): lxde already contains, depends on, uses as its window manager openbox

with stretch repos: sudo apt-get -s install lxde-core
(testing lxde-core, I didn't notice packagekit mentioned, but)
lxde-core depends on lxpanel, pcmanfm... which depend on libfm4 ...which depends on libdbus-1-3
... which (in stretch) depends on libsystemd0

FWIW, I checked https://devuan.org/os/packages/libdbus1-3
they have not yet tackled libdbus-1-3

Hi skidoo, thanks for your efforts :)

Out of curiosity, I installed lxde-core in my other box (Devuan), no error messages, I switched from openbox to icewm. It came with all my keybindings, fine. Devuan/lxde-core shows no error messages, just a heads up...

Is my eyesight failing or the letters in the Edit section too light?

That is the to-be-expected result ~~ lxde-core (and libfm4, and libdbus-1-3) packages in Devuan repository are identical to those in Debian jessie repository.

letters in the Edit section too light?

Not seeing such light text here. If your selected desktop theme provides a GTK3 variant, and firefox preferences (i don't recall the exact prefkey name) are set to"follow/adopt system theme", that could be the cause. To test/troubleshoot, close browser and choose a different desktop theme, then relaunch the browser.

The only thing I could do was this from the FF preferences>Content>colors

firefox
about:preferences
click"Content", click the"Advanced" button within the"Fonts n Colors" section

Personally, I UNtick"Allow pages to choose their own fonts" and I also choose, on that settings screen, which fonts n sizes I want the browser to use.
My reason for changing away from the default settings wasn't _light_ text, but blurred text.
(Didn't affect all webpages and I guessed part of the problem was the browser attempting to fallback & suitable substitute fonts weren't installed on my system.)

Ditto, me too. Thanks again!
