Agreed. Aparently I don't know why /opt/trinity/bin/r14-xdg-update is not run by the postinstall-script. But then I have to admit I don't know this cute little program is doing at all :)
Mostly, it adjusts some environment variables, config file locations, and menu details for better compliance with the XDG specification put out by freedesktop.org . It's a very long and ugly script that as far as I can tell should have no real effect unless you're migrating a profile from KDE3 or a version of TDE more than five years old.
If that's so, it (at least test9) needs to be able to determine the previous level of Trinity and skip processing if it was less than two versions old. Maybe during the upgrade, a file containing the FROM level should be written for R14-xdg-update to consult.
A closer look shows three sets of changes that apply to more recent versions. They're labeled as follows:
Rename/remove old link files in Konqueror sidebar network panel. [prior to 2018 05 26]
Rename startkde/exitkde events in /share/config/knotify.eventsrc [prior to 2018 11 01]
Remove Konqueror's icon cache entry for / (issue TDE/tdebase#1) [prior to 2021 03 28]
How important are these things? Depends on the user, I guess. I personally could not care less if there are broken links to things I don't use anyway in the Konqueror sidebar, but I'm sure others do.
In any case, none of those three entries have anything to do with what any of the tests are looking at—they're all testing renaming stuff from really obsolete versions, as far as I can tell, and yes, they should be gated somehow. If I'm reading the script correctly, the needed version information is already available.
