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

Following the instructions at
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Raspbian_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Ins... I installed tdebase-trinity (rather than tde-trinity), mainly because of disk space concerns.
I then installed korganizer-trinity, which is the package of most immediate interest to me.
However, when I try to configure the date and time (Settings/Configure Date & Time ...) I am told WARNING: No TDE menu group with X-TDE-BaseGroup=settings found ! Defaulting to Settings/
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.
This leaves me completely unaware of what package(s) I should install to make it happy.
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.
Q1: Can anyone tell me which packages I would want to install to be able to run this setting?
Q2: Can anyone tell me how I could have figured this out myself, short of reading all the code? Â (I did look at some code, but decided that it was taking me down some very long chain of function calls with no end in sight, and I had to move on to some other work right now.)
Thanks very much.
Jim
