Well it seems the mailing list isn't working. I
sent the above message 5 days ago and never received a reply back via
email. I thought I'd check the web archive and lo and behold there is a reply (thanks
Michele) but I never received it.
This is the main reason I use forums, mailing lists and clunky and often fail at simple
things.
@Michele I thought I'd give it a go, and thus asked the question, because the
replacements (packagekit etc.) for
update-notifier and update-manager are just short of useless. I am able to install and
use update-notifier and
update-manager successfully in GTK based DEs and even update-notifier-kde in KDE but have
not found anything suitable
for Trinity. Do you have any recommendations?

I am trying to install adept (from etch) on TDE but it keeps telling me that the

I can change the dependency in
the control file because I am going to try to rebuild the adept packages in stretch

Hi Michael,
just to add to what Slavek and E. already said, for R14.1 we have decided to drop adept
and replace it with some other
application that do a similar job.
Adept is badly broken and continuous changes to apt have made it unworthy keeping patching
it up. Better to switch to
some sort of supported applications available in gpl or higher.
One main point for the replacement for update-notifier, but the idea or using a cron job
and a small script (thanks
Nikolaus!) sounds like a good temporary solution ;-)
Cheers
Michele
