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

After that,
apt-get install desktop-base-trinity
appears to work. But
apt-get install kde-trinity
gives:

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?

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.
"apt-cache policy kde-core-trinity"
