Package tde-trinity is not available, but is referred to by another
package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'tde-trinity' has no installation candidate
As a matter of fact apt is right: this package is nowhere to find,
neither in 2_build nor in 3_repo (both of which are full of .deb
files, 923 each)
So my question is as usual: how do I proceed now? I never did the
installation of TDE in a "package by package" way, I always used the
very same "tde-trinity" meta package.
I am not sure if the scripts create the ready to use repository, but you
need ftp or http server to make possible what you try. Then you add the
repository to apt sources and you can use the method to install.
Another way to install individual packages from the local drive is using
dpkg -i, but it is rather painful as it will not resolve the dependencies.
