Interesting to consider, though. Thanks for the idea, Nik. You always invent
or discover these fascinating possibilities.
I am unsure if I ever used tde-trinity, or these libarts dependencies. I am
trying to rebuild my desktop system, as close as possible, on my laptop. But
my lists of packages to be installed have got misplaced due to that corrupted
hard drive that I described in detail, ad nauseam et infinitum et cetera et
et et ...
So now I am trying not only to rebuild my system, but also to reconstruct my
working methods (that is, my installation lists and habits or procedures that
I follow). It had got to the point where it just worked, and I didn't think
about it, but now I must try to remember what packages I installed or whether
I didn't install them, and why. Then, too, I am trying to recreate my system
on a different machine, a new laptop, which is obviously going to be
different from my old Frankenstein desktop.

Quick & dirty approach: create a dummy package, install it, and try again:
# aptitude install equivs
$ cd /tmp
$ cat > libarts1-xine-trinity << XXX

Oh, libarts1-xine-trinity breaks video thumbnails, you'll be better off
without it :)

Now I remember why it is that I don't try to install tde-trinity. (I
assume this is a kind of meta-package?)
When I try to install, I get this error message:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
tdemultimedia-trinity : Depends: libarts1-xine-trinity (>=
4:14.0.11-0debian11.0.0+0) but it is not installable
I tried using both apt-get and aptitude, but I similar results. Just tried that, nuthin doing. I tried using
trinity-desktop-all &
variations of the same, but adding *, and it says no such package or
regex or whatnot.

Use tde-trinity as described in
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Debian_Trinity_Repository_Installation_
Inst ructions
this will pull the whole "shebang"
