How to install the XFCE desktop ?

[Agent Smith]

My fellow PCLinuxers,
To install the XFCE desktop, once one only had to do: apt-get install task-xfce.
But, task-xfce is no more.
How can I install XFCE desktop nowadays
Thanks in advance

i just checked and task-xfce is not there and also there is not all the xfce packages

i haven't changed any options on the repos in synaptic

Have you enabled the Xfce section of the repository?  (xfce4)

task-xfce is definitely there

sorry, if my synaptic looks like this

main updates nonfree games kde4

now it should be like this?

main updates nonfree games kde4 xfce

the other task packages seems to be there without the xfce section added to synaptic, why?

I've no idea, sorry  

But if we add all in section, if we need different sections?

If I remember correctly that happened when a new Xfce version was in the process of being tested.  Once the test was successful it became the xfce4 section for the new stable version.  I am sure it could be changed again but adding xfce4 doesn't seem to much effort for mine ....

I like it the way it is ....  seems more organised

[T6]
