The package xterm exists and has versions in all current releases of Debian. See: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/xterm Try sudo apt-get install xterm or sudo apt install xterm > So I'll repeat, what is this magic xterm? It is about the oldest terminal emulator of the X Window System. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xterm says: "Initial release 1984; 38 years ago [...] xterm originated prior to the X Window System. It was originally written as a stand-alone terminal emulator for the VAXStation 100 (VS100) by Mark Vandevoorde, a student of Jim Gettys, in the summer of 1984, when work on X started. It rapidly became clear that it would be more useful as part of X than as a standalone program, so it was retargeted to X. [...] Most terminal emulators for X started as variations on xterm." So termit and Konsole are just new-fangled remakes. :)) Have a nice day :) Thomas
