Building package on my builder is not a problem. The result will be not a
single package, but "all" packages that arise from tdebase. However, for
simplicity I then give the command that updates only the packages you
already have installed.

Thank you for your quick response, Slávek.
Solution 3 looks too complicated for my level of Linux ability. I don't
know how to build a package.
Solution 1 is something that i could do, but seems like a lot of work:
individually remove 30 packages, download 30 new ones, copy to a
keydisk to transfer to the faulty computer and manually install each
one of them. If i do that, is there any special order to follow in the
last step?
Solution 2 seems like the least complicated one *for me*. I would just
have to install one package? I don't know if building a tdebase for me
on your builder is a lot of work *for you* or not. If it involves only
little work, I would appreciate. You could send it to my email address
above. Otherwise, let me know asap and I will go for solution 1.
Thanks again,
Marc
I lost my graphical desktop and now have only
console access. This
happened because I could not update the tdebase package with adept
updater; there was always that one package left that could not be
updated (something broken). So I thought I could fix this by
removing the tdebase-trinity package from my system and then
reinstalling the package fresh. So I rebooted and went into
recovery mode to a root console and did that with apt-get remove,
which also removed 2 other packages:
ksmserver-trinity and tdebase-runtime-data-common-trinity
Then I tried to apt-get install tdebase-trinity (and the 2 other
packages) but could not do it because of an unmet dependencies
problem for tdebase. About 20 packages are listed that need version
pr82 and not version pr80 of tdebase. So I spent many long hours on
various forums looking up info and did everything in the book:
checked sources.list; did apt-get clean, autoclean, update,
upgrade, dist-upgrade; tried apt-get install -f and dpkg
--configure -a ;
I also tried aptitude install which indicated it was going to
install 3 packages but then did not because of unmet dependencies
and gave me only one solution: keep the 3 packages at their current
version [not installed].
I then thought of looking up the package on the TDE nightly builds
website and noticed that superseded version 81 and published
version 82 were marked with a red X (build failures) for amd64
systems. Is this relevant to my problem? Does that mean it will be
fixed and I just have to wait a while? If not, is there a solution
or a workaround so that I can get my faithful TDE desktop back?
Thanks ahead for any help
Marc
TDE 14 (nightly builds) on Ubuntu Precise installed from live
TDE-CD on an amd64 board
Problem is that during building, packages common for all platforms
are built only with i386. If for some reason delayed building other
platforms repository is in an inconsistent state. As is the case now.
In the case of the inconsistent repository is not a good idea to try
to solve the broken update. It is preferable to hold the previous
version and wait for new packages.
Now you have three solutions:
1) Manually download packages from the repository for the older
version and manually install them.

htly-builds/+sourcepub/74269/+listing-archive-extra
2) On my builder I can build for you tdebase and somehow deliver to
you.
3) The package you build yourself.
