Package: gnome-software Followup-For: Bug #823873 Dear Maintainer,
This bug can be removed. I re-installed from scratch the complete task-lxde-desktop. I then set the default target in systemctl to multi-user, allowing me to use startx from a console prompt. The program works in a minimal fashion. I believe it needs gnome-control-center for more functionality, which draws in many more dependencies. I shall continue using aptitude.
