I looked at the status of packages that I mentioned. It appears that both are

Well, apparently we must decide how to leave these dependencies.

Whether this could be helpful or not I have no
idea, but I just
ran aptitude upgrade on a 14.0.4 on Stretch installation last
upgraded 22 May. it reported 30 "not upgraded", 279 upgraded, 6
new, 1 removed. No errors were noted on completion, and neither
tdegraphics-trinity nor tde-core-trinity are currently installed.
Note that I do not install tde-trinity. Instead, I install
trinity-tdm and tdebase-trinity, plus several other trinity-* I
routinely use, and don't bloat the installation with gobs of never
to be used apps and libs.
There is much to be said for this approach. I effectively did the
same thing when I installed Stretch. The last package installation in
the installer gives user the choice to install package *groups*
depending on proposed use of the computer.
I was very selective in my choices at this stage, limiting the
installation to such groups as utility and printer packages. Most of
the bloat however comes from installation of a DE; I deliberately did
not install any of the DEs favoured by Debian. Consequently I had to
install the x-window-system before installing the DE of my choice.
I want to do the same for my TDE installation. To start I tried as
you suggested to install tdm-trinity and tdebase-trinity, but the
return message was the same one received after my first attempt
described in my original post. I will now wait until after Slávik
deals with the dependencies issues.
