I've tried all combinations of locking packages I can think of, but unless I allow those trinity packages to be deleted, because of the interrelationship between systemd, udev, cryptse* and these 4 trinity packages, the process refuses to proceed. :(

BTW, all those lines with overabundant leading whitespace is normal result of pasting from a Konsole session into a text file more than fits into the current Konsole window at once, going back too far to remember, several releases at least. It's very frustrating that the only way to avoid it is to redirect whatever is possible to redirect into a file.
