I'm having an issue with my daughter's netbook that I just upgraded from lenny to squeeze. The main problem is that it is 2100 miles away. In any case, I did the upgrade according to the squeeze release notes.
When I did the upgrade, I changed the sources.list to point to squeeze, including trinity.
However, it deinstalled kde-trinity, kdemultimedia-trinity and kdewebdev-trinity. So after the upgrade, I tried to reinstall.
# apt-get install kde-trinity kdemultimedia-trinity kdewebdev-trinity Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: kdemultimedia-trinity : Depends: libarts1-xine-trinity (>= 4:3.5.12-0debian7+r1175295) but it is not going to be installed kdewebdev-trinity : Depends: quanta-trinity (>= 4:3.5.12-0debian7+r1158456) but it is not going to be installed Depends: kommander-trinity (>= 4:3.5.12-0debian7+r1158456) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages
What do I need to do to get this reinstalled?
Thanks, --b

What method did you use to upgrade? apt-get, aptitude, synaptic ? Using apt-get from the cli has a couple of options.
The unmet dependencies could be caused by the method of upgrading, 'apt-get dist-upgrade' allows installation of new dependencies, 'apt-get upgrade' only upgrades existing packages. Also 'apt-get -f install' will try to 'fix' a failed upgrade.
The release notes seem to prefer apt-get over aptitude, a reversal from the Lenny. release. I normally try all cli install tools when something like this happens, don't use gui stuff. My preferred package manager is still 'dselect' .
Hi Greg,
I used apt-get, because thats what the squeeze release notes recommended.
What I did was apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade ; apt-get dist-upgrade.
apt-get -f install gives me a list of packages to deinstall, a good number of which seems to be trinity or trinity-related. I figure that aptitude full upgrade will deinstall as well.

Would letting apt-get or aptitude uninstall everything it wants then trying to reinstall it all? I don't hold a lot of hope for this as this is what I was planning to do with the packages for the dist-upgrade, but this didn't work out so well...

Do so, but keep notes what it does. You could try aptitude and reinstall the trinity stuff that got uninstalled in a second pass.

+1, don't worry about uninstalling packages, you can always install them again if needed. I have succesfullycompletely remove X and all gui apps, down to a base Debian install and re-purposed a box.
