Done | Building dependency tree | Reading state information... Done | lxde is already the newest version. | The following extra packages will be installed: | libmotif-common libxm4 | Recommended packages: | lxlauncher gnome-orca gsfonts-x11 | The following NEW packages will be installed: | libmotif-common libxm4 task-lxde-desktop xpdf | 0 upgraded, 4 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | Need to get 1,211 kB of archives. | After this operation, 3,705 kB of additional disk space will be used. | Do you want to continue?
