Hi Del,
I can change the wiki, I don't know what to change it to ;)
My background is 95% CentOS with 5% Ubuntu 14.04 as a test of a 'more

Based upon what you've said, then yes there is a serious problem with the
Debian wiki page as the instructions as given (AKAIU) are going to upgrade
their distribution instead of just upgrading their TDE version.
This section from the Debian Aptitude instruction page, also explicitly states
not to use 'full-upgrade,' so again the instructions on TDE Debian Wiki are
almost guaranteed to be 'wrong.'
https://wiki.debian.org/Aptitude
How to upgrade your distribution
Upgrading from one stable release to the next (e.g. Lenny to Squeeze) is done
by following the release notes for your architecture. For most people with 32
bit systems that means the Release Notes for Intel x86. For most with 64 bit
systems that means the Release Notes for AMD64.
Using full-upgrade in the regular course of events is no longer the
recommended practice (unless you are running sid, in which case you should
not need to be reading this.)
Minor release upgrades (e.g. from lenny 5.0.1 to 5.0.2) and security updates
are done with safe-upgrade.
Find out the current version of Debian that you are running:
$ cat /etc/debian_version
Example for upgrading from, e.g., etch 4.0r1 to 4.0r2 ...etc., or applying
security upgrades:
# aptitude update
# aptitude safe-upgrade
Looking at the Ubuntu page, the same 'error' has been published:
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Ubuntu_Trinity_Repository_Installation_Inst…
6.2 Upgrading from an existing R14.0.x or v3.5.13.x installation
sudo aptitude full-upgrade

At my level of 'aptitude' knowledge, I can tell the instructions as given are
almost guaranteed to be erroneous, and very liable to cause some serious ill
will, but what the correct instructions for 'aptitude' systems should be is
beyond me. Therefore:
Would someone go 'fix' all the TDE 'aptitude' Wiki pages?
Or, if the TDE instructions as given are correct, then explain the
discrepancies with published 'aptitude' sources?
Best and Thanks,
Michael
Whatever the correct instructions are, is being
forced to upgrade from
say ‘7.x - wheezy’ to ‘9.x - stretch’ accurate? But, that does seem to
directly conflict with the information presented in “1.1 R14.0.x series,”
which implies I can stay on ‘7.x - wheezy’ and install R14x.
Hi,
you can use TDE 14.X with whatever underlaying linux distribution. The
condition is that tde should be compiled against the packages/libraries of
this distribution.
So watch out to add the correct sources to the source lists.
As far as upgrade is concerned in debian it is not safe to skip a version -
example wheezy -> stretch is risky and not recommended. What debian
recommends is wheezy -> jessie -> stretch.
Whatever you do - the TDE source list should match the distro version.
I hope it helps
regards
PS: regarding changing wiki - if you don't want or don't have permissions
to do it, provide detailed instruction what you think needs to be changed.
I couldn't understand exactly what you mean at first reading.
