The upgrade from 3.5.13.2 to R14 includes a lot of package
"renames".
After a clean i386 Wheezy 3.5.13.2 install of kde-trinity
is upgraded to R14 RC2, an "apt-get autoremove" removes
48 transitional dummy packages. This is good.
However there are still (roughly) 15 transitional dummy
packages whose descriptions say they can be safely
uninstalled. All that is preventing them from being
uninstalled is two meta packages - kde-trinity and
kde-core-trinity. And so the conscientious sysadmin
removes the two unnecessary meta packages and the
(roughly) 15 remaining transitional dummy packages.
And the next "apt-get autoremove" eats 290 packages
which is most of Trinity.
If you had less than a normal kde-trinity installation
of 3.5.13.2 this problem hits you much sooner and
without uninstalling any meta packages.
What to do? Something in the release notes?

In the installation instructions for Debian/Ubuntu, it is recommended to
use aptitude instead of apt-get to upgrade.
It seems that using apt-get does not resolve all dependencies correctly
(see bug 2245 on bugszilla).
Do you have a change to retry using aptitude?

I would not recommend either apt-get or aptitude over the other as
one is worse in some cases and the other is worse in other cases.
Aptitude is maybe a bit smarter than apt-get and tends to autoremove
automatically which is a separate step with apt-get.
With a without-recommends standard install of 3.5.13.2 upgrade
to R14 R2 aptitude avoids the conflict mentioned in bug 2245
because aptitude autoremoves kdebase-kio-plugins-trinity during
the dist-upgrade, along with autoremoving roughly 47 other packages
that would be a separate step with apt-get.
When you try to purge the remaining roughly 15 dummy packages with
aptitude it is smart enough to figure out on its own that kde-trinity
and kde-core-trinity need to be removed ... but then you're in the
same position as with apt-get - most of Trinity is autoremoved.
//
The above considered only a standard install. Let's now compare
apt-get versus aptitude in the case of a small 3.5.13.2 install
of just "kdm-trinity kdevelop-trinity" along with their depends
but not their recommends.
With apt-get after the dist-upgrade some but not all of the
dummy packages are amenable to autoremove. Purging the remaining
dummy packages results in the entire Trinity install becoming
autoremovable.
With aptitude the dist-upgrade proceeds as with apt-get except
most of the dummy packages are autoremoved during the dist-upgrade.
The only two remaining dummy packages are kdm-trinity and
kdevelop-trinity. When aptitude is told to purge these two the
entire Trinity install is autoremoved.
//
My guess is that the transition packages should somehow transfer
their manual/auto state to the new packages but I don't know a
clean way of doing this.

Having said that, I am going to try a similar upgrade as well, sometime
next week. If I find better ways, I will let you know.

Hi Michele,
I've been trying to figure out a simple way to protect
inexperienced users.
The safest approach I've found thus far is:
apt-get update
apt-get install tde-trinity
apt-get dist-upgrade
This is for Debian. Ubuntu may need a different second
step just as initial installs are different for Ubuntu.
I also tried this with aptitude but aptitude goes crazy.

Thanks Mike, I agree with you that we need to find an easy and reproducible way to update,
then we can add an "update
from v3.5.13.2" to the wiki on the website.
Interesting is the fact that you and Slavek found different "good way", i.e.
Slavek had problem with apt-get while you
have problem with aptitude.
I am going to try both ways myself as well, then let's see what's the best we can
come up with.
Thanks for the feedback so far.

That's correct. I don't know yet if the missing Conflicts which caused
a problem for apt-get is fixed in R14 Final.
There is something newer on the master server and now mirroring to

I reported that with apt-get upgrade just does not work correctly. So if I
understand correctly, you now confirm the same thing - that with apt-get
upgrade does not work properly. As I have right now tested, for solving
problem also for apt-get would probably suffice modify version to one from
the following:
<= 4:3.5.13.2+
<< 4:3.5.13.3~
<< 4:14.0.0~ (as suggested by Michele)
Tim, now it is probably too late for rebuild and publishing?

Mike, Slavek, Tim,
I am doing testing on upgrading from 3.5.13.2 to R14.0.0 on a default
Wheezy installation. Using the "installation" instructions on the wiki
page fails, so we will probably need to update those pages and
differentiate between "new install" and "upgrade".
Given the slowness of package transfer (I am using the official
packages, not my own build, to avoid any possible mistake), I am still
testing various ways. I will update again later on.

Looks like the mirror is now fully working, since it takes less than
30 minutes to do a fully upgrade. So I have tested sevaral ways to
upgrade from a standard 3.5.13.2 install to 14.0.0.
The sequence suggested by Mike seems to be the most
reliable/reproducable, but with some tweeks.
1) apt-get update
2) apt-get install tde-trinity.
This fails at some point.
3) apt-get -f install.
This succeeded, but trying to login after this stage gives the error
"Could not start kstartupconfig...."
4) apt-get dist-upgrade
After this stage, I have a fully working TDE R14.0.0 system.
Running aptitude in CLI mode and pressing 'g', comes up with a list
of packages that can be deleted. This at times is most of the TDE
installation. To fix this do the following.
5) run 'aptitude', search tde-trinity (which should be shown as
*un*installed, mark as 'to install' and 'g'. This will make R14.0.0
stick in your system
6) running 'aptitude' and pressing 'g' again, comes up with a list of
packages that can be deleted. Proceed.
I have noticed over several upgrade runs, that the list of packages
that can be deleted is not always the same, not sure why although some
of the upgrade run were interrupted/resumed several times due to the
slow download bandwidth of previous days.
It seems that dummy packages have to be manually removed.
dpkg -l | grep -i dummy
gives a list of such packages.
I will modify the installation instructions adding an "Update from
3.5.13.2" section to it. If you have any specific comments that you
would like to add to the above, please let me know (once again :-) )

(I will have to test on a VM sometime next week), but when you
are going for the dummy package removal, I suggest you try this:
run aptitude in interactive mode, select the dummy packages to
remove, press 'g'. You will have a screen with a summary of what
packages are going to be removed, which most likely will include
most of TDE packages (based on your mail) as "autodependency
(A)". Mark tdebase, tdelibs and all other "general" tde packages
as "keep". This should possibly keep most of TDE installed, while
allowing you to remove those dummy packages.
Hi Michele,
I've been trying to figure out a simple way to protect
inexperienced users.
The safest approach I've found thus far is:
apt-get update apt-get install tde-trinity apt-get dist-upgrade
This is for Debian. Ubuntu may need a different second step just
as initial installs are different for Ubuntu.
I also tried this with aptitude but aptitude goes crazy.

The sequence suggested by Mike seems to be the most

1) apt-get update

This fails at some point.
3) apt-get -f install.
This succeeded, but trying to login after this stage gives the error
"Could not start kstartupconfig...."
4) apt-get dist-upgrade
After this stage, I have a fully working TDE R14.0.0 system.
Running aptitude in CLI mode and pressing 'g', comes up with a list
of packages that can be deleted. This at times is most of the TDE
installation. To fix this do the following.
5) run 'aptitude', search tde-trinity (which should be shown as
*un*installed, mark as 'to install' and 'g'. This will make R14.0.0
stick in your system
6) running 'aptitude' and pressing 'g' again, comes up with a list of
packages that can be deleted. Proceed.
I have noticed over several upgrade runs, that the list of packages
that can be deleted is not always the same, not sure why although some
of the upgrade run were interrupted/resumed several times due to the
slow download bandwidth of previous days.
It seems that dummy packages have to be manually removed.
dpkg -l | grep -i dummy
gives a list of such packages.
I will modify the installation instructions adding an "Update from
3.5.13.2" section to it. If you have any specific comments that you
would like to add to the above, please let me know (once again :-) )

I must again point out - if the user perform a manual selection of packages to
install, the process containing "apt-get install tde-trinity" is not an just
upgrade, but will install many other packages. Moreover, as you mention, this
step fails. That does not sound like a good way to upgrade.
Please, test this simple procedure:
1) apt-get update
2) aptitude dist-upgrade
As I've mentioned many times before, this procedure on all my test machines
ran smoothly - without any hitch - and it's "really just upgrade".

Agreed that would be good, but what in your configuration
prevents autoremove from removing needed packages?
Did you originally perform a standard TDE install or did
you perform some kind of expert install that told aptitude
more about which packages you want to keep?

I tested your way and the upgrade goes smooth. Nevertheless after the

1) apt-get update

Can you test on your machines as well and let me know? If confirmed, I

Hi Michele,
I think the answer is that for people who had in the past
done a standard Trinity install they should include the
"apt-get install tde-trinity" step to avoid autoremove
problems but that for experts such as Slávek who have
customized their installations and understand the
consequences then they can skip that step.

aptitude install tde-trinity
aptitude install tde-core-trinity

As I watched, there are several transitional dummy packages which would still

What about we propose two possibilities?
1) same as the one I proposed. This one would basically upgrade/install all TDE R14.0.0
and get rid of dummy packages.
This solution would be intended for "generic" users who want a simple way to
upgrade all TDE
2) same solution that you suggested, i.e. step 1 and step 2, then run aptitude in
interactive mode, enter Limit
Display '~i-trinity~ddummy" and manually check/delete unneeded packages and
install equivalent tde packages.
This would be intended for more expert users, who can choose what to install and what
not.
What do you think?

I must again point out - if the user perform a manual selection of
packages to
install, the process containing "apt-get
install tde-trinity" is not
an just
upgrade, but will install many other packages.
Moreover, as you
mention, this
step fails. That does not sound like a good way
to upgrade.
Please, test this simple procedure:
1) apt-get update 2) aptitude dist-upgrade
As I've mentioned many times before, this procedure on all my test
machines
ran smoothly - without any hitch - and it's
"really just upgrade".
Slavek, I tested your way and the upgrade goes smooth. Nevertheless
after the process is completed a lot of dummy packages are still
installed. Using the following procedure gets rid of those dummy
packages and leaves a clean upgrade.
1) apt-get update 2) aptitude dist-upgrade
96 packages upgraded, 64 newly installed, 15 to remove and 0 not
upgraded. Need to get 147 MB of archives. After unpacking 63.7 MB will be
used.
No problems. 3) aptitude install tde-trinity -> then choose to
resolve the conflict
by removing kde-trinity and kde-core-trinity
0 packages upgraded, 406 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 231 MB of archives. After unpacking 626 MB will be used.
Oops, that's a bit much. I think we
could recommend something like this:
If you had installed metapackage kde-trinity, kde-core-trinity or
kde-devel-trinity, these are not updated automatically. For the update is
necessary to use one of the following:
aptitude install tde-trinity aptitude install tde-core-trinity aptitude
install tde-devel-trinity
As I watched, there are several transitional dummy packages which would
still have had to be removed manually. For example kde-i18n-*,
kio-locate, kradio,... For such I would suggest the following:
4) Run aptitude in interactive mode, enter Limit Display
'~i-trinity~ddummy" and manually check and delete unneeded packages.

What about we propose two possibilities?
1) same as the one I proposed. This one would basically upgrade/install all
TDE R14.0.0 and get rid of dummy packages. This solution would be intended
for "generic" users who want a simple way to upgrade all TDE
2) same solution that you suggested, i.e. step 1 and step 2, then run
aptitude in interactive mode, enter Limit Display '~i-trinity~ddummy" and
manually check/delete unneeded packages and install equivalent tde
packages. This would be intended for more expert users, who can choose what
to install and what not.
What do you think?

Slavek,
I have updated both Debian and Ubuntu installation pages on the wiki.
If you compare the "Upgrade" section on both pages, you will see that
"Debian's point A" is not present in the Ubuntu
version. This is because the package names to install TDE in Ubuntu are different from
Debian.
I do not have an Ubuntu system to test on. Could you check and let me know if there is any
error or missing info
regarding the Ubuntu page? Thanks.
Cheers
Michele

No problems.

96 packages upgraded, 64 newly installed, 15 to remove and 0 not
upgraded. Need to get 147 MB of archives. After unpacking 63.7 MB will
be used.
No problems.

0 packages upgraded, 406 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not
upgraded. Need to get 231 MB of archives. After unpacking 626 MB will
be used.
Oops, that's a bit much.
Well, "too much" is subjective. Basically the "general" user is
trying
to upgrade from a previous kde-install, so this step is just installing
whatever package was not upgraded from step 2. On my wheezy installation
steps 2 install about 250 packages and step 3 about 200 if my memory is
right. The total is about 450, which is similar to the number you
reported on a previous email
(http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::14312) I think
we could recommend something like this:
If you had installed metapackage kde-trinity, kde-core-trinity or
kde-devel-trinity, these are not updated automatically. For the update
is necessary to use one of the following:
aptitude install tde-trinity aptitude install tde-core-trinity aptitude
install tde-devel-trinity
As I watched, there are several transitional dummy packages which would
still have had to be removed manually. For example kde-i18n-*,
kio-locate, kradio,... For such I would suggest the following:
4) Run aptitude in interactive mode, enter Limit Display
'~i-trinity~ddummy" and manually check and delete unneeded packages.

What about we propose two possibilities?
1) same as the one I proposed. This one would basically upgrade/install
all TDE R14.0.0 and get rid of dummy packages. This solution would be
intended for "generic" users who want a simple way to upgrade all TDE
2) same solution that you suggested, i.e. step 1 and step 2, then run
aptitude in interactive mode, enter Limit Display '~i-trinity~ddummy"
and manually check/delete unneeded packages and install equivalent tde
packages. This would be intended for more expert users, who can choose
what to install and what not.
What do you think? Cheers Michele

I think it looks good, thank you.
By the way, on Ubuntu is not any package that should not be automatically updated by step
2. Package
trinity-rename-meta should take care of all meta-packages. The only exceptions should be
really just kde-trinity,
kde-core-trinity and kde-devel-trinity on Debian.

The upgrade from 3.5.13.2 to R14 includes a lot of
package
"renames".
After a clean i386 Wheezy 3.5.13.2 install of kde-trinity
is upgraded to R14 RC2, an "apt-get autoremove" removes
48 transitional dummy packages. This is good.
However there are still (roughly) 15 transitional dummy
packages whose descriptions say they can be safely
uninstalled. All that is preventing them from being
uninstalled is two meta packages - kde-trinity and
kde-core-trinity. And so the conscientious sysadmin
removes the two unnecessary meta packages and the
(roughly) 15 remaining transitional dummy packages.
And the next "apt-get autoremove" eats 290 packages
which is most of Trinity.
If you had less than a normal kde-trinity installation
of 3.5.13.2 this problem hits you much sooner and
without uninstalling any meta packages.
What to do? Something in the release notes?
Yes, there is a problem in that packages kde-trinity, kde-core-trinity and
kde-devel-trinity are not automatically replaced with new tde-trinity,
tde-core-trinity and tde-devel-trinity. The reason is that the previous KDE
meta-packages have different version numbers, and they were so far in advance
compared to the standard R14 numbering.
As you suggest, this would be good to mention in the instructions for
upgrading on Debian.
Incidentally, there are also general comments about the replacement packages
during upgrade - for example, replace kpowersave to tdepowersave and
knetworkmanager to tdenetworkmanager. This is independent of the
distribution. Where should we put these instructions?

Probably the best place is in the Release Notes.
If you can write a small paragraph with the required text, I can later
added to the wiki page.
