Yes, quite sure. I successfully installed desktop-base-trinity!
Sources.list is not yet complete. I am adding only as necessary until I am
under less uncomfortable conditions. And until I am reasonably sure that I
am not about to reinstall. So it is as nature and Debian intended, with the
sole addition of the one Trinity line.

I have done as little the same way as I could. Apart from update and upgrade,
nothing was the same. And I broke what I was doing into smaller and smaller
pieces in order to try and get the output a reasonable length. Whatever I
did, I got the same result. I entirely agree that PEBKAC comes into this,
but have no idea what I need to put right.
I have done this successfully, with no problems at all, quite a few times, so
I too am puzzled. But I am running out of variables to change, and 3.5.12
would be a great deal better than nothing. Unless I can trace what is going
wrong, I shall try 3.5.12 and your Live CD. I'll try what you suggest for
that. But I also have a friend who uses nothing but USB-key "CDs", he
hasn't
even got an optical drive, and he is coming over, so I'll pick his brains if
I haven't solved it by then.
Thank you for your generous help.

I started again. I installed a fairly basic
Squeeze system, I then
installed LXDE (without a hitch), then desktop-base-trinity, also without
a hitch. I used only the official repository.
Are you sure you did <aptitude update> first? Post your sources.list,
let's have a look at that, and anything that's in sources.list.d.
