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.
