I thought TDE was up to 14.05 for Stretch and Sid. The binutils update marks TDE for removal, it is why I have not updated binutils on any of my TDE systems (one of which also runs many of DEs). Until Tim, Slavek, or Michele get to fixing it I would not recommend updating or attempting to bypass dpkg's warning.

Hello to all.
I'm a long-time TDE user running TDE 14.0.4 amd64 on Debian 9.x Stretch (unstable, actually Siduction, using systemd). It works well, although I occasionally run into minor issues that I eventually solve. It is after all "unstable".
Over the last few weeks a problem remains, binutils_2.27-9_amd64.deb works fine, but several updates of this program which can be loaded by itself, most recently binutils_2.27.90.201612331-1_amd64.deb, all render the system unbootable.
The boot cycle proceeds from sda1 without any errors but the tdm signon comes up with a black background rather the normal blue TDE one. When I logon I get an error message and TDE does not load, showing a problem with my home partition on sda5:
Could not read connection list /home/lsm1/.DCOPserver_LSM1_0 Please check that the "dcopserver" program is running
When I hit Enter I then get:
Could not start tdeinit, Check your installation.
This problem is specific to TDE as I can still load the backup desktop LXQT by the usual logon from the TDE signon box.
When I boot to the console and downgrade to binutils_2.27-9_amd64.deb everything works as usual on the reboot.
If anyone has any possible solutions I'd be happy to try them out and report back.
