I'm working on getting blfs 8.2 running and have XORG running
and TWM with xterms. I'm wanting to install LXDE but have
encountered confusion. First I installed libfm-extra-1.2.5
because it is a requirement of menu-cache-1.1.0. I installed
menu-cache-1.1.0. Ok. Next after that to be installed is
libfm-1.2.5. I am confused. libfm-1.2.5 is the same package as
libfm-extra-1.2.5. Am I supposed to install it a second time?
The second time around lists a requirement of GTK+-2.24.32. Is
this correct? I don't get it. The book could be clearer on this
but says nothing.

Yes the two builds have slightly different build instructions they just use the same source archive.
There are a few packages like this in the (B)LFS books just check the build instructions.

Thanks, Keith. I'll just follow the instructions and carry on.
I was just confused because it didn't make sense to me, like
the book made a mistake or something. I'll marked this solved.
