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

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.
Quick & dirty approach: create a dummy package, install it, and try again:
# aptitude install equivs $ cd /tmp $ cat > libarts1-xine-trinity << XXX Section: libs Priority: optional Standards-Version: 3.9.2 Package: libarts1-xine-trinity Version: 4:14.1.0~s176-0debian12.0.0+9~a Provides: libarts1-xine-trinity Description: dummy for libarts1-xine-trinity XXX $ equivs-build libarts1-xine-trinity # dpkg -i libarts1-xine-trinity* # aptitude install trinity-desktop-all
Oh, libarts1-xine-trinity breaks video thumbnails, you'll be better off without it :)

This might come in handy sometime in the future, but maybe not just now. 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.
