Squeeze will very soon be released as new Debian stable. Many Lenny KDE users will dist-upgrade and won't like the result. I ran only Sid for some years and have experienced that already.
With the Squeeze release probably a few weeks away, and thousands of Debian users likely to be looking for a way out of KDE4, is there any chance of removing the conflicts that prevent a smooth Trinity install?
The main problems seem to be desktop-base-trinity (which conflicts with desktop-base and therefore with gnome-core and kdm and much more) and sudo-trinity (which conflicts at the file level with sudo and scares people - why does a desktop want to replace a key piece of my security infrastructure?)
I haven't yet been able to figure out the reason for requiring trinitized versions of these packages.
