Hello developers,
can someone explain, why aptitude will remove all (R14-) trinity packages from a jessie installation, when I would install the g++ compiler?
What shall I do i.e. reinstall trinity after g++?
Many thanks for your suggestions. Rolf
Hi,
here are some more informations:
I let aptitude delete all the packages and reinstalled trinity, but tdm was not installed, so it did not start. When I try to install tdm it complaines that "tdm requieres libr0 which is not an install candidate" so the dependensies could not be resolved. What to do next?

Hi Rolf,
Do you have builddeps configured in your sources.list?
See: https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/DebianInstall
If there's still a problem please post the content of your /etc/apt/sources.list and the output of "apt-cache policy libr0".

Hello Mike
thanks for you quick response.

No, I hadn'd.
I give it a next try witn the builddeps enabled (I really didn't understand what the repo is good for - exept I have a longer time to wait) and now trinity was not deinstalled - but some other packages - for example gimp, freecad...
So many thanks for your help Rolf

I use apt-get and dselect for package management..one reason aptitude wanted to remove packages I did not want removed..sound kind of like your situation.
If you do not mind trying apt-get and seeing if it behaves more to you wants. I never figured out why apt-get & aptitude differ in this regard.
Hi Greg.

Yesterday I used aptitude in a virtual machine and have to reinstall gimp and freecad

Today on a real machine I used apt-get and only g++ (plus its dependencies) have been installed, nothing to reinstall.
Thanks for the hint.
