So Chris could probably just pin binutils. It seems a pity to slag off Debian

felicitously mix. I always use aptitude anyway, except if I am explicitly
told not for an upgrade. It is so nice and chatty!

Wheezy and Jessie/testing 7.2.. Have same prob
with Mint 15 and
verious 2 year old Ubuntus.
It's not the fault of Trinity devs at all that I can tell. Yes, I do mess
with repos and possibly make mistakes that way.
It's a "feature" of later Wheezy versions of apt-get. Somebody decided
that Debian needed to be "cleaned up" every time you install something,
and based on researching this on Debian messageboards, the majority
insist on believing this is a good idea. Tough luck for me I guess.
So, for example, if I try to upgrade my totally obsolete Iceweasel or
Firefox, apt-get will insist on removing Trinity, Xorg and countless
other vitally important items. In fact, I can't install or upgrade
anything now.
Package kdesktop na 3.5.13.2 has a strict dependency on a specific version
of binutils. When mixing distribution versions can easily occur attempt to
upgrade binutils and then the problem is obvious.
