I was not actually aware of the magnitude of the problem until just now,
as I tend to use the nightly builds on new installs.
Do we actually have a procedure written anywhere that results in
successful installation on Ubuntu? People have access to the Wiki and I
would be more than willing to redirect the Ubuntu/Debian install
instructions to a Wiki page until R14 is released; would someone who has
managed to install TDE successfully be willing to write a brief set of
instructions for the Wiki?
I did not originally intend R14 to take so long to make it to release. In
fact I was not even planning for a 3.5.13 SRU, but enough bugs were
discovered over time (some original KDE bugs as well) to significantly
delay the next release. This is obviously suboptimal and it looks like
some things will need to be partially fixed in the interim.

Part of his point was that the installation instructions on the website do
not result in a working system. This is something we talked about here
several months ago, and nothing has been done about it. Repeating what I
said then, how many people do you think have found the website, tried to
install Trinity according to the instructions there, ended up with a
hopelessly buggy system and a lot of time wasted, and will never try
Trinity
again? Lou is one of a tiny minority who have come to the mailing list
looking for help -- many, many more simply go away quietly. Is there a different installation page with
instructions of how to
obtain a
working version of trinity? Is there a working
version?
I strongly suggest Slavek's packages. I have deployed them on all of my
systems with great success.
