So that's excellent news.
You're welcome. I was basically waiting for #1085949 [1] to be fixed. > > The images can be found in [1].

We would have to verify whether this is a problem specific to the powerpc port and not a generic bug in the LXDE meta package. > First, I ran "apt update and got: > > # apt update > Atteint :1 http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports sid InRelease > Atteint :2 http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports unreleased InRelease > Tous les paquets sont à jour. > Warning: Le fichier configuré « main/source/Sources » ne sera pas pris > en compte car le dépôt « http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports sid > InRelease » ne semble pas capable de le fournir (erreur de saisie dans > sources.list ?) > Notice: Some sources can be modernized.

This is to be expected since Debian Ports doesn't mirror the source packages.
