On a MEPIS 8.5 amd64 system, I followed the lenny instructions at
http://www.trinitydesktop.org/installation.php#debian
and all worked except
sudo apt-get install desktop-base-trinity kde-trinity

Hello
Try aptitude instead of apt-get.
Hope this helps, Volker
I installed aptitude and ran it for the first time. Wow, it worked. I thought aptitude was doing exactly the same thing as apt-get but packaged in a different interface.
Thanks, Pierre
P.S. Aptitude noted a few problems but I tried the system and it seems to work fine.
