I am getting desperate. I am running 3.5.10 on Lenny on my working m/c
at the
moment, and the system is sickly. I *need* a working
box. And I *need*
KMail in order to have continued access to my emails.
I have been trying for hours over several days to install on a newbuild.
I
have posted before about the problems I had initially.
When I installed
desktop-base-trinity separately it went on without a hitch. I can find
no
way of installing kde-trinity.
Having tried for hours to install kde-trinity from where I had got to, I
gave
in and installed LXDE. I immediately gained a
functioning LXDE. I have
installed from inside LXDE frequently in the past. I have installed
with
Slavek's repositories already enabled in the
past.
Having got my functioning LXDE, I again tried to install kde-trinity.
Again
no success. Exactly the same result as before.
I installed some of the missing packages manually, but most of them
refused to
install.
I have just tried again, and this time I got a shorter, and therefore
legible,
list of problems, but most of the unresolved
dependencies were virtual
packages and refused to install.
The only thing that I can think of to try now is to do a default install
of
Squeeze, get Gnome 3 (yuk!) and try to install from
there. Any better
ideas?
All suggestions welcomed.

Hi Lisi,
from last weekend, I gradually upgrading all packages. It is possible that
you could run into inconsistent state of apt source? A little while ago I
updated sudo-trinity so that they will not conflict with sudo from the
system. This should also help to smoother installation.
