Hi,
I saw the top-posting and missed the rest of your questions. Mea culpa.

tdebase-trinity usually pulls the whole set of
packages needed to run TDE.
Well, maybe it should, but I guess it depends on what one exactly
means "to run TDE".
AFAIK you must provide root or sudo password to
configure date and time of
the PC - you most probably mean the Kalendar date and time display
settings.
Sorry it wasn't clear above... when I try to configure korganizer's date
and time (i.e., the way it presents the date and time, I am not trying
to change the system time), using the korganizer menu item
"Settings/Configure Date & Time ..." I get that message.
what source did you use - what is mentioned in the
article?
Yes, I used exactly the lines in the article, except I put "buster" in
for "<your-distribution>". I commented out the deb-src lines, since I
was not planning to d/l any source at this point.

tdebase-trinity usually installs what is needed - in
this case did you
install also locale packages as noted in the article?
I did not. My native language is English, and I am OK with the
default locale. (If there was a Canadian English locale I might have
installed it, but I don't see any locale in the listing whose name
suggests that to me.)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION which may or may not help:
When I start up kcontrol, the pane on the left which should have all
sort of things (in an older version of TFE on another computer I have
"Appearance & Themes", "Desktop", "Internet &
Network", and so on)
is empty. So, again, it can't find whatever it is looking for.
According to the output of an incantation I found on line, there are
1037 packages with "trinity" in the name which I have not (yet) installed.
I guess I could just bite the bullet and start randomly installing
things, but if anyone can share some wisdom, it would be most appreciated.
