I'm re-setting up an old machine (a core 2 quad

wanted to use a somewhat older distribution. I decided for Stretch and
managed to find the online repos for older Debians.
I then wantes to install trinity (from the website it seems 14.1.1 should
be available, I also tried 14.0.0).
I followed the instructions for repositories, however when I run install
tde-trinity, I get dependency hell
Several packages have unmet dependencies, for example
Depends : tde-core-trinity (>= 4:14.0.0~) but it is not going to be
installed
Another weirdness is that aptitude has no installation candidate. I suppose
apt or apt-get can be used instead.
An idea?
Hi Thierry,
I've used TDE on every Debian since Debian 6 (Squeeze). Prior to that I
used KDE 3.
You say you tried R14.0.0 but TTBOMK R14.0.0 is no longer available or
supported. Where, please, are you seeing TDE R14.0.0 available online?
The current stable TDE is R14.1.3, but the latest version of TDE for
Stretch is R14.1.1. Support for Stretch ended in 2020 and LTS ended
in 2022. By limiting yourself to Stretch you're exposing yourself to
known vulnerabilities in Debian, as well as missing features and bugfixes
in TDE since R14.1.1. Debian 11 (Bullseye) is now in LTS. Debian 12
(Bookworm) is recommended.
If you still wish to proceed with Stretch you'll need to show us your
install command, full error output, your sources.list, and your apt
preferences and/or preferences.d/* if any.
