It is obvious that you have not updated for a long time because from separation jessie from wheezy binutils were updated about 6 times.
The package kdesktop-trinity from 3.5.13.2 has a strict dependency on a particular version of binutils. You'd have to either rebuild kdebase-trinity with each update binutils or rebuild kdebase-trinity with build option WITH_KDESKTOP_LOCK_BACKTRACE="OFF" or use a development version R14.
