Dear Debian folks,
I have been trying to install xfce theme manager (I am running Debian
Jessie on an AMD 64 box).
I found a web site
https://launchpad.net/~rebuntu16/+archive/ubuntu/other-stuff/+sourcepub/4038858/+listing-archive-extra
<https://launchpad.net/%7Erebuntu16/+archive/ubuntu/other-stuff/+sourcepub/4038858/+listing-archive-extra>
where there appeared to be some packages that may may not work in
debian (perhaps better used in e.g. ubuntu).
I downloaded the ones that seemed relevant and tried using aptitude to
install them but it did not work.
I also noticed another web site
https://launchpad.net/~rebuntu16/+archive/ubuntu/other-stuff/+sourcepub/4038858/+listing-archive-extra
<https://launchpad.net/%7Erebuntu16/+archive/ubuntu/other-stuff/+sourcepub/4038858/+listing-archive-extra>
On this website, which was dealing with e.g. xubuntu not debian the
commands recommended to install it were:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rebuntu16/other-stuff
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xfce-theme-manager
I think the reason it may not be working in my case is that I don't
know what the correct equivalent of
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rebuntu16/other-stuff
would be for a debian user.
If it isn't possible to make the repository work in debian at present
I could try installing from a tar file instead.
Maybe that is what I should be doing here......
Please excuse my ignorance here.
Suggestions on this are most welcome.
I really like this wallpaper item

Hi
I believe XFCE is already included in debian repository. Have you tried
following the instruction described here <https://wiki.debian.org/Xfce>?
