Help! Following what I thought was a routine upgrade of my Debian Jessie/Sid system, Trinity has broken. Completely. Many programs have disappeared from /opt/trinity/bin (most particularly kmail - I'm writing this on an old backup system). In an attempt to recover this, I have (I believe) downgraded the system to Wheezy with the following /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free
### I tried both this set and the ones below deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/slavek-banko/axis/ubuntu wheezy main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/slavek-banko/axis/ubuntu wheezy main

After that,
apt-get install desktop-base-trinity appears to work. But
apt-get install kde-trinity gives:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: kde-trinity : Depends: kde-core-trinity (>= 5:47) but it is not going to be installed Depends: kdeaddons-trinity (>= 4:3.5.5) but it is not going to be installed Depends: kdegraphics-trinity (>= 4:3.5.5) but it is not going to be installed Depends: kdepim-trinity (>= 4:3.5.5) but it is not going to be installed Depends: kdeutils-trinity (>= 4:3.5.5) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Several questions:
What have I done wrong?! All suggestions welcome... I tried to follow the instructions at http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/DebianBinar yInstallation Are they actually correct? Has anyone else succeeded in a new or upgraded installation in the last couple of days?
cheers

Nothing routine running TDE on a Jessie/Sid system, it is compiled for Wheezy, just because you were lucky to get it working ...updates to Jessie are unpredictable as far as TDE is concerned.
Also the TDE mirrors are syncing right now, when finished you will not need slaveks repo's anymore.
