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.

I had to intall "dirmngr" to get "apt-key" to work. It is not part of
base +
standard utils tasks.
"apt install dirmngr"

The simple answer, there is no duplications, TDE adds only Trinity apps.
Installing Debian there is the option to not install a DE during the
install. I install "base + standard" then follow the directions on the
wiki.
I have standarized on TDE so having only one DE is my preference. I add
non Trinity apps (+depends) as needed.

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.
