reinstalled and reconfigured. It doesn't go so well when there are other
important matters that also claim my attention.
What happens if you just install everything according to the defaults,
without your customisations? Does it still break?
The problems with reinstallation do not seem to
involve Trinity as such. For
some unknown reason, the XFCE desktop has messed up my settings, so that I
was unable to find my network, etc.;
Are you suggesting that *out of the box* the installer installs XFCE
settings that are broken? And has done so eleven times in a row?
Where are you getting the installer from? Is the media faulty?
And now, I get this weird error message:
sudo apt-get -f install
apt-get: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libapt-private.so.0.0:
undefined symbol: _ZN11pkgDepCache24IncreaseActionGroupLevelEv, version
APTPKG_6.0
Googling finds:

https://serverfault.com/questions/246613/suddenly-get-apt-get-symbol-lookup…
But honestly if you have installed the system from scratch eleven times,
and get this error each time, that suggests your installer is broken,
or you are starting to suffer hardware issues.
