On my laptop on debian-11 bullseye, suddenly, I cannot boot Trinity. I decided to reinstall by this command : apt install tdebase-trinity --reinstall I receive this message : "Packages contain dependencies not satisfied, ksplash-trinity depends of tdebase-data-trinity <4.14.1.1 but 4.14.1.1~pre32-0debian11.0.0+2 must be installed. Impossible to correct the problems, defectuous packages are in mode keep in state". So, Im completely disappointed and lost, what to do ?

Did you try "apt update; apt dist-upgrade" ?

Yes, and same message. My sources.list : deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.1.x bullseye main deps deb-src http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity/deb/trinity-r14.1.x bullseye main deps good ? Cheers.

Maybe try sudo dpkg-reconfigure tdm-trinity. And you might need to get rid of desktop-base, as it conflicts with desktop-base-trinity. Either apt-get purge desktop-base or dpkg --force-all --purge desktop-base.

These packages (tdm-trinity & desktop-base-trinity) often give me this kind of problem, with false readings about missing dependencies, because they aren't fully installed.

I have in my sources.list:

deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-testing daedalus deps extra main

... so the "extra" is extra., but that's most likely not the problem.

This is what I usually do when I run into these problems: 1) create a list of manually installed packages, in this case for trinity packages:

# apt list --manual-installed|grep trinity|cut -d / -f 1|tr '\n' ' '; echo > manual-installed.txt

2) purge the offending package, in this case "ksplash-trinity". This will most likely remove other packages, too, that's why I saved the list before - or simply purge all of trinity:

# apt purge ksplash-trinity

3) clear the package archive - sometimes the archives are bad:

# apt clean

4) reinstall the missing packages:

# apt install $(cat manual-installed.txt)

5) reboot, just to be sure.

Sometimes xorg gets deleted, too. Keep an eye on it. Also sometimes tdm-trinity is "lost". When that happens, tde does not start either. So maybe you should check that, too.
