Help! Following what I thought was a routine upgrade of my Debian Jessie/Sid system, Trinity has broken. Completely. Many programs have disappeared from /opt/trinity/bin (most particularly kmail - I'm writing this on an old backup system). In an attempt to recover this, I have (I believe) downgraded the system to Wheezy with the following /etc/apt/sources.list
------ deb http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib deb-src http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free
### I tried both this set and the ones below deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/slavek-banko/axis/ubuntu wheezy main deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/slavek-banko/axis/ubuntu wheezy main
##deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian wheezy main ##deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian wheezy main ##deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.13... wheezy main ##deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.13... wheezy main -------
After that,
apt-get install desktop-base-trinity appears to work. But
apt-get install kde-trinity gives:
----- The following packages have unmet dependencies: kde-trinity : Depends: kde-core-trinity (>= 5:47) but it is not going to be installed Depends: kdeaddons-trinity (>= 4:3.5.5) but it is not going to be installed Depends: kdegraphics-trinity (>= 4:3.5.5) but it is not going to be installed Depends: kdepim-trinity (>= 4:3.5.5) but it is not going to be installed Depends: kdeutils-trinity (>= 4:3.5.5) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. -----
Several questions:
What have I done wrong?! All suggestions welcome... I tried to follow the instructions at http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/DebianBinaryInstal... Are they actually correct? Has anyone else succeeded in a new or upgraded installation in the last couple of days?

greetings!
I've got sensitive personal information on my flash drive (thumb drive) because of a passport issue; stuck abroad I'm sure I'd enjoy the beer if only I drank beer!
I have found usb drives are like prisoners in those war films, always plotting their escape and sometimes succeeding.
it would be bad if this one ran into the enemy camp!
obviously I can just not store any sensitive data on the drive but are there any good encryption options? they would have to meet the following criteria:
a) I must be able to read the files from Windows and Macs computers;
b) I cannot install software on those computers.
the best I can figure is put zip or pgp on the usb drive, maybe truecrypt?

Nothing routine running TDE on a Jessie/Sid system, it is compiled for Wheezy, just because you were lucky to get it working ...updates to Jessie are unpredictable as far as TDE is concerned.
Also the TDE mirrors are syncing right now, when finished you will not need slaveks repo's anymore.
"apt-cache policy kde-core-trinity" kde-core-trinity: Installed: (none) Candidate: 5:54.2-0debian7.0.0+0 Version table: 5:54.2-0debian7.0.0+0 0 500 http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian/ wheezy/main amd64 Packages

Fair enough - it has worked well for a couple of years now on the 'wrong' system, but I did return it to Wheezy in case that was the problem.
But in fact there were two problems: 1 kde-trinity needed binutils < 2.23 but 2.23.something had been installed. That went when I changed down to 2.22-8 2 kde-trinity-core needed arts-trinity which does not seem to be in the wheezy release. I added the nightly-builds and it went too.
Also the TDE mirrors are syncing right now, when finished you will not need slaveks repo's anymore.
would that explain the absence of arts-trinity?
I presume that when the mirrors are sorted, there will be an announcement on the website..?

The long freeze for Wheezy in Debian affects testing and Sid. Packages do not move throught the que. There can be a seemingly stable period where testing & /sid are very simialr to Wheezy, the release allows packages to proceed..this will eventually break compatability with Wheezy, which may be now..I don't use testing & sid though.
I heart there will be an announcement .

I'm not sure there is much that can be done to avoid this; TDE does not yet have Jessie builds and it is quite possible that the dependencies changed enough to end up removing a large chunk of the TDE package set on upgrade.
Work to support Jessie is ongoing, just be patient. :-)
