I was trying to help you avoid a total system reinstallation, but sometimes
that's the only way.
I guess so. At least time wise in this situation.
The original idea was to keep it simple for my (old) mum and give her
KD3 "forever". Sadly in the early time, that didn't worked out with
trinity (not to be understood as a complain, it was just not ready at
that moment).
As I point out in my "quick & dirty" method, I avoid these problems by
saving
the packages to an external drive, then use dpkg to install them when
necessary.
In the beginning of KDE4 I thought I might use trinity myself, but
went
more "spartan" some time ago by using fluxbox. And since I learned, that
this "special" user tends to forget things anyway, I use anydesk now to
solve problems, which are the same anyway and are NOT depending on which
DE is used, so maybe I just use software from the official repros to
avoid trouble like this.
