Package is now available.

Finally had a chance to try fvwm. Installed fine -- but wouldn't start.

First problem: missing libXft.so.
Easy fix: install libxft, which should presumably be added to dependencies.

Second problem: missing libcairo-gobject.so. I'm currently stuck there,
as libcairo is installed, and libcairo-gobject does not appear to exist.

Possibly related:
xournal also gives a cairo error:
cannot locate symbol "cairo_xlib_surface_set_size"
referenced by "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so"...

Suggestions?

Thanks as always for developing/maintaining Termux.

@geometryof It works, if all packages are up-to-date. libxft is installed automatically.

Second problem: missing libcairo-gobject.so. I'm currently stuck there,

Very strange problem which really can't happen. Are you using Android 5/6?

Ouch. Thought I had, but update via apt had failed. Had some trouble with the unstable source list, but was eventually able to upgrade. Both fvwm and xournal now appear to be working (although icons may be missing in xournal). My bad; thanks again. (I'm using Android 9.)
