To all Debian users who are experimenting problems to
install Trinity.
There was a bug with Qt3 versioning, in the Debian version of Trinity
3.5.13. (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=583)
If the following command:
dpkg -l|grep 3:3.3.8-d-0ubuntu0
is listing some packages, you'll have to force a "downgrade" from version
"3:3.3.8-d-0ubuntu0+sr73+pr181~squeeze" to version
"3:3.3.8d-0ubuntu0+sr73+pr181~squeeze".
Here is a script to do the job:
OLDVERSION=3:3.3.8-d-0ubuntu0+sr73+pr181~squeeze
NEWVERSION=3:3.3.8d-0ubuntu0+sr73+pr181~squeeze
for f in `dpkg -l | grep $OLDVERSION | awk '{print $2}'` ; do
apt-get install $f=$NEWVERSION
done
Thanks for the script, not something I would figure out myself.
I have used it successfully on three 3.5..13 machines here, though they were
running okay.
I have seen the 'kdeinit failed message' on a 3.5.12 box that I tried, and failed,
to upgrade to 3.5.13.
