It is good practise not to mix apt-get and aptitude, choose one and use it exclusively. So either "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" or "aptitude update && aptitude upgrade". Aptitude is better at working though dependency and conflict issues but apt-get is also fine.

from a terminal, having added the specified lines to my sources.list and commented out the old tde lines, i did:
sudo apt-get update sudo aptutide upgrade
due to server congestion i had to run the latter several times. it then specified a problem, to be solved by removal of libcal2b-trinity and libqt-perl.
the installation blows up in a fashion too long to list here -- i'd have to type it in character by characer, and it includes "25 not fully installed or removed" when i went back at it with sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. that command blows up with:

not real sure how to proceed. ideas?
thanks.
I see as a problem that you used 'aptitude upgrade' instead 'aptitude dist-upgrade'. On my test machine I use aufs, thanks to which I could re-testing of the upgrade from 3.5.13.2 to R14.0.0.
In the case of 'aptitude dist-upgrade' on my test machine upgrade always go smoothly. Where I used 'apt-get dist-upgrade' there is a problem with tdelibs-data, as in your case.
