I believe that this must be a Devuan bug; there could be problems with slim and tdm-trinity, although I think it is immaterial to my point here. The reason I would trace it to Devuan is that I only ever ran apt-get dist-upgrade; I never tried to install slim or xfce, nor libreoffice, etc., but these were installed automatically. I had assumed, wrongly, that I would get only upgrades of what was already installed. For about three months previously, I had made no changes whatsoever to my system, except periodically to run apt-get dist-upgrade; then suddenly I get these extra packages installed. That's why I say it must be a Devuan bug, and maybe a recent bug. It looks like some of us need to join a Devuan mailing list, as well.
