this used to be a FrankenDebian installation, which I repaired
in fact, I am happy with my current Debian-machine.
later this year, Debian Buster is coming up.
so, I started testing on a virtual machine in Parallels Desktop
I installed Debian Stretch, changed /etc/apt/sources.list and upgraded to Buster.
that went quite well.
than, I found Debian Busrter RC1, which I installed with LXDE
in this installation, I installed LXQt and purged LXDE
no problem there either
finally, I installed Debian Buster RC1 with LXQt
this gives a problem, as LXQt does not come up
in fact, the home folder does not have the usual folders
as you can see, there is no .cache, .config, .local, etc.etc.fred44nl@Buster:~$ ls -al

it is not a real problem for me, but I am just curious.
