In a box the hard drives of which had never been used, I installed a
basic stretch, leaving me at the end only with the command line for
any further packages installations.
I the did the following: all these commands were run as root.
Since I wanted to install TDE only -- no other DEs -- I ran command
"apt-get x-window-system". When that was done I was able to run
successfully startx.
I added to /etc/sources.list the following two lines:
deb http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb stretch deps-r14 main-r14
deb-src http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb stretch deps-r14 main-r14
I then ran successfully:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key A04BE668
and then "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" successfully.
When next I ran "apt-get install tde-trinity"
the following was returned.

Hi Ken,
see this page
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/DebianInstall#For_Stretch_.28Debian_9.x.29
Stretch is not officially supported yet, although TDE works well in Stretch.
You did everything correct, but last command should be
sudo aptitude install tde-trinity
If this doesn't work, it means some packages are now broken and we will need to fix
them.
Hopefully I can come back and do some work very soon (I also use Stretch, so if some
packages are broken I will
have to work on them whenever I want to update).
Please let us know how it goes.
Cheers
Michele

Why sudo while running as root? Is that even possible?

There is no need to use sudo in Debian unless you specifically set it up to
require sudo access.
Even then the admin user, i.e. the first user, shouldn't need sudo because
they should have root access.

Whether this could be helpful or not I have no idea, but I just ran aptitude
upgrade on a 14.0.4 on Stretch installation last upgraded 22 May. it reported
30 "not upgraded", 279 upgraded, 6 new, 1 removed. No errors were noted on
completion, and neither tdegraphics-trinity nor tde-core-trinity are
currently installed. Note that I do not install tde-trinity. Instead, I
install trinity-tdm and tdebase-trinity, plus several other trinity-* I
routinely use, and don't bloat the installation with gobs of never to be used
apps and libs.
It seems Michelle is likely right in saying something on the mirrors is
broken, but I am able to open a TDE session that seems normally functional.
So, you might want to try starting with a more compact installation like I
do, then add whatever more it takes to suit you personally.

There is much to be said for this approach. I effectively did the
same thing when I installed Stretch. The last package installation in
the installer gives user the choice to install package *groups*
depending on proposed use of the computer.
I was very selective in my choices at this stage, limiting the
installation to such groups as utility and printer packages. Most of
the bloat however comes from installation of a DE; I deliberately did
not install any of the DEs favoured by Debian. Consequently I had to
install the x-window-system before installing the DE of my choice.
I want to do the same for my TDE installation. To start I tried as
you suggested to install tdm-trinity and tdebase-trinity, but the
return message was the same one received after my first attempt
described in my original post. I will now wait until after Slávik
deals with the dependencies issues.

I propose to move the 'poster' from depends into recommends. This enables the
installation even if the package is not present. And later we can decide
whether to take the package to the Trinity.
Regarding gnuift I propose to remove this dependency and build tdegraphics
without kmrml.

Installing X is not necessary. You can sftp to edit sources (tee -a

add the key, aptitude install tdebase-trinity will do the rest.

As every DE depends on X, required X packages will automatically be installed
simply by installing even a minimal TDE. There's been no need for me to take
the extra step in Debian, *buntu, Mageia, Fedora or openSUSE.

Maybe you should try minimalist again. Could be your particular failings with
this method were mirror issues that have since solved themselves rather than
broken gnuift and/or poster requires.

As I see, in the Stretch are unavailable packages poster (dependency for
tdeprint-trinity / tdebase) and gnuift (dependency for kmrml-trinity /
tdegraphics). I need to find out what is the status of these packages -
whether they have any successor. According to this will be adjusted
dependencies.

Can you give us any indication of when these dependency issues can be

wait that long without use of that computer. If however it will be
