Same here. I am still trying to weed out all the unwanted KDE 4/5 krap.

Did you try "sudo dpkg --purge --force-all desktop-base"? In the past, at
least on my own system, I have found this to solve a problem that sounds
similar to yours.
Thanks, I will try this out later.
The default package desktop-base seems to
conflict with
desktop-base-trinity, although it usually doesn't come up as an error.
Other contenders (desktop-base-* for other DEs) might also conflict.
Before purging desktop-base (the default), then make sure that
desktop-base-trinity is installed. Then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure
tdm-trinity" and "sudo dpkg-reconfigure desktop-base-trinity".
This is very helpful to know, because similar things happened to me in
the past.
If I am forced to use another DE as a workaround
sometimes, or for
purposes of troubleshooting, then I myself would prefer MATE or xfce, as
they are the least intrusive, and don't conflict much with TDE.
I think the worst thing I did once (some years ago) was to install Kubuntu
and trying to install TDE on top of it, quite a nightmare.
