Whether this could be helpful or not I have no idea, but I just ran aptitude upgrade on a 14.0.4 on Stretch installation last upgraded 22 May. it reported 30 "not upgraded", 279 upgraded, 6 new, 1 removed. No errors were noted on completion, and neither tdegraphics-trinity nor tde-core-trinity are currently installed. Note that I do not install tde-trinity. Instead, I install trinity-tdm and tdebase-trinity, plus several other trinity-* I routinely use, and don't bloat the installation with gobs of never to be used apps and libs.
There is much to be said for this approach. I effectively did the same thing when I installed Stretch. The last package installation in the installer gives user the choice to install package *groups* depending on proposed use of the computer.
I was very selective in my choices at this stage, limiting the installation to such groups as utility and printer packages. Most of the bloat however comes from installation of a DE; I deliberately did not install any of the DEs favoured by Debian. Consequently I had to install the x-window-system before installing the DE of my choice.
I want to do the same for my TDE installation. To start I tried as you suggested to install tdm-trinity and tdebase-trinity, but the return message was the same one received after my first attempt described in my original post. I will now wait until after Slávik deals with the dependencies issues.
