Don't use a tasksel desktop.
Install one of these metapackages for KDE:
kde-full/stable 5:142 amd64
complete KDE Software Compilation for end users
kde-plasma-desktop/stable 5:142 amd64
KDE Plasma Desktop and minimal set of applications
kde-standard/stable 5:142 amd64
KDE Plasma Desktop and standard set of applications
Or xfce4 to get a working XFCE environment.
There doesn't seem to be a similar metapackage for GNOME, but
perhaps I just missed it.
Any of these should get you to a point where everything is
working.

Does any of this apply to the MATE desktop? TIA
