Slavek I'm using Stretch with your PSB repo and keep it up to date each day (today's update was 104 packages from Debian) and binutils will not update without removing many (currently 44) TDE packages. Packages listed here for your perusal. If you have no other DEs updating binutils breaks TDE in Stretch and makes it unusable. kamera-trinity will be removed kappfinder-trinity will be removed kate-trinity will be removed kcontrol-trinity will be removed kcron-trinity will be removed kdat-trinity will be removed kdesktop-trinity will be removed kdpkg-trinity will be removed kfind-trinity will be removed khelpcenter-trinity will be removed kicker-trinity will be removed klipper-trinity will be removed kmenuedit-trinity will be removed knetworkconf-trinity will be removed konqueror-nsplugins-trinity will be removed konqueror-trinity will be removed konsole-trinity will be removed kpackage-trinity will be removed kpager-trinity will be removed kpersonalizer-trinity will be removed kregexpeditor-trinity will be removed ksmserver-trinity will be removed ksplash-trinity will be removed ksysguard-trinity will be removed ksysv-trinity will be removed ktip-trinity will be removed kuser-trinity will be removed libkcddb1-trinity will be removed libkonq4-trinity will be removed libr0 will be removed libtqt3-integration-trinity will be removed tde-core-trinity will be removed tdeadmin-tdefile-plugins-trinity will be removed tdeadmin-trinity will be removed tdebase-tdeio-plugins-trinity will be removed tdebase-trinity will be removed tdebase-trinity-bin will be removed tdeiconedit-trinity will be removed tdelibs-trinity will be removed tdelibs14-trinity will be removed tdemultimedia-tdeio-plugins-trinity will be removed tdepasswd-trinity will be removed tdeprint-trinity will be removed twin-trinity will be removed On 1 January 2017 at 09:49, Slávek Banko <slavek.banko(a)axis.cz> wrote: > On Saturday 31 of December 2016 21:50:44 L.S.

As already mentioned I'm using Stretch. The version of binutils I have is 2.27.51.20161108-1. Updating to 2.27.51.2016220-1 removes the packages listed above. libr0 version is current 4:0.6.0-3debian9.0.0+4~b1.

Previously it was dependent on binutils also tdebase == was necessary to rebuild tdebase. However, for R14.0.x this is no longer valid. I try to update 'libr' in preliminary stable builds repository as soon as I notice a change binutils in the Debian repository. However, then it is essential that users have properly updated lists from preliminary stable builds repository. Without that, it just can not work smoothly. Cheers

Therefore, for Trinity should be apt line as follows: deb http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb sid deps-r14 main-r14 Current version of binutils in Sid is 2.27.90.20161231-1. For this binutils version is in deps-r14 corresponding libr0 version 4:0.6.0-3debian9.0.0+4~b7. Please verify (for example, by aptitude), whether you have available just these versions.
