Thanks Greg,
Your suggestion as to how to install Debian worked.
Because I installed Stretch I had to follow the wiki page
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Preliminary_Stable_Builds
Adding the repos to the sources list went fine but now I am stuck
on trying to install the GPG key - I keep getting "connection
refused" from
keys.gnupg.net keyserver.

I had to intall "dirmngr" to get "apt-key" to work. It is not part
of base + standard utils tasks.
"apt install dirmngr"
greg
Thanks - I had already installed dirmngr . Still couldn't get the GPG
key. After a bit of googling I found a similar issue where the
solution offered was to ping
keys.gnupg.net and then to replace
keys.gnupg.net with the IP address identified in the ping output when
using the apt-key adv command.
This worked for me - although I am not entirely sure why. I presume
that some GPG related package was not included in the Debian
base+standard utils install.
Trinity desktop now installed and running

Cool, for the archives,\
I noticed after my "dirmngr" repone that it is a part of the
"intallation instructions", havee not read them in some time :-)
The instruction to install the key (
keys.gnupg.net keyserver) worked
here on a new base + standard, thankfull for interent search.
Greg
Because problems with key servers availability are too common, I added the
axis-archive-keyring package to the apt repository - see the description
added on wiki.
Cheers
