Well it seems the mailing list isn't working. I sent the above message 5 days ago and never received a reply back via email. I thought I'd check the web archive and lo and behold there is a reply (thanks Michele) but I never received it. This is the main reason I use forums, mailing lists and clunky and often fail at simple things. @Michele I thought I'd give it a go, and thus asked the question, because the replacements (packagekit etc.) for update-notifier and update-manager are just short of useless. I am able to install and use update-notifier and update-manager successfully in GTK based DEs and even update-notifier-kde in KDE but have not found anything suitable for Trinity. Do you have any recommendations? On 8 October 2016 at 17:33, Michael . <keltoiboy(a)gmail.com> wrote:

While I find mailing lists to work well, and the need to log into a forum & navigate to the thread you want to read a major PITA and time killer. My experiments involving adept have been very distastefull, in 2 cases resulted in a re-install to sort it out. So I always revert to synaptic in the form of synaptic-pkexec, which is a sudo-like wrapper that gives you root rights to run it. Give it a try. Once you've sorted out the damages adept has done, it Just Works(TM). Adept apparently is, and has been unsupported for several years according to what I've read on other lists. Hopefully this will get thru your ISP's filters. You may have to do what I did when I was forced to use my ISP's mail server, call up their network support guy and setup a whitelist.

@ Nikolaus Klepp, I never even considered something like that (I'm not a coder), thank you. @ Eric Liddell, I have suspected the problem that causes the robot to send me warnings was because of Google so it makes complete sense to me that Google is probably the problem here to. @Slavek Banko, thank you for that. I will use Nikolaus' suggestion instead then. On 14 October 2016 at 04:24, Slávek Banko &lt;slavek.banko(a)axis.cz&gt; wrote:

I would like to find out that the TDE equivalent for this package is so I can change the dependency in the control file because I am going to try to rebuild the adept packages in stretch and sid.
