In Ubuntu/TDE there is a `kate` and a `kate-trinity`.
However, there is no `kwrite-trinity`.
I'm always afraid to install some k-something-or-the-other` --
without a -trinity suffix and end up thereby with a $##t-pot-full
of KDE 4 or KDE 5 crap.
How is a person to know what to install besides doing
an `apt-cache search k-something-or-the-other` for every kabc...xyz?
On my system, Devuan ascii and TDE R14.0.5 kwrite is in package kate-trinity:
$ dpkg -S /opt/trinity/bin/kwrite
kate-trinity: /opt/trinity/bin/kwrite
There is also kwrite in the repositories but that is from kde5 as you can see
from its dependencies:
$ apt-cache depends kwrite
kwrite
Depends: ktexteditor-katepart
Depends: libc6
Depends: libkf5activities5
Depends: libkf5configcore5
Depends: libkf5configgui5
Depends: libkf5configwidgets5

If you search for "iconedit" you find two packages, one of which is a
dummy package with the original kde name:
$ aptitude search "?name(iconedit)"
p kiconedit-trinity
- Transitional
dummy package. This can be safely removed after your TDE upgrade has completed.
p tdeiconedit-trinity
- an icon editor
for Trinity
There are quite a lot of these transitional dummy packages. I think renaming
the TDE programs was intended to be a step away from the confusion with kde5
names, but as it wasn't accomplished yet there are three possibilities now.
However, installing the dummy package is not a mistake, it just installs the tde
one as its sole dependency.
If I am to install something and I'm not 100% sure if it's the right TDE package
I check against a possible kde5 version and a dummy package.
But, I did find that there was a `tdeiconedit`.
So now I believe I will put a symlink for `kiconedit` in my
$HOME/bin/...
I would better like an alias:
alias kiconedit=tdeiconedit # in your .bashrc or .bash_aliases
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Stefan
