I rebuilt this package and it created itself correctly this time. If it a race issue then this does not mean the problem is fixed. It does mean that lxde should be buildable now? > xfce4: now installable > > gnome-core: blocked by testsuite failure in uhttpmock, maybe worth a > retry.

That will get done, but is not a priority for anyone yet.

I'll provide an arm64 update very soon as lots is happening.
