I'm sorry, dependency hell is no fun. No fun at all.
So the first question is how do I install tde to
debian-11-3?
The way I've done it is to install a base Debian with XFCE, everything
just defaults. I've also done a base install without any desktop at
all, no XFCE, Gnome, KDE, etc. No X environment. TDE correctly
depends upon "desktop-base" and the X applications and graphical
support are all imported correctly with "tde-trinity".
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list with the TDE repository, download and add
the signing keys by hand (even though it's deprecated apt-key install
tde.asc still works fine). Since I use dselect for package management, I do a
quick search
for "tde-trinity" and press +. I'm sure "apt-get install
tde-trinity"
would work just as well.
That's it.
As an aside, I've also annually archived my .trinity directory in its
entirety and by restoring that before the install I have kept all the
addresses, defaults, colors, and style which I've created over the
years and prefer. But that's all just window dressing.
And window dressing means continuity. Good idea.
