my little project thinkpad x200 now sports debian stretch and X; what it doesn't have is TDE. my line in /etc/apt/sources.list is:
deb http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb /debian stretch deps-r14 main-r14
(and of course the deb-src line as well.)
i've imported the gpg key apparently uneventfully. running apt-get update seems to do as it should, though it throws an "ign" for each of the trinity indices (i didn't follow it closely the first time i ran it, so this isn't necessarily unexpected).
but sudo apt-get install tde-trinity renders an unable to find package error. aptitude likewise says it can't find tde-trinity.
i'm clearly erring somewhere, but do not know where. how do i get the preliminary stable build onto the machine?
thanks in advance.

There should be no debian in the url

still no joy. changed the line, did apt-get update, but sudo aptitude install tde-trinity produces: Couldn't find any package whose name is "tde-trinity", but there are 2 packages which contain "tde-trinity" in their name: compiz-tde-trinity-dbgsym compiz-tde-trinity"

Looks exactly same as here.

Is this Stretch an upgrade from *buntu? If yes, try logging in as root and skipping use of sudo and -get or aptitude for installing. Apt has some logical improvements over apt-get.
Maybe start over using apt clean all before apt update.

only to the extent that i was running that before i reformatted the partition for debian. it's not an upgrade in the sense of merely chancing the sources.list. i used the netinst version of the debian installed, on a CD via USB. which is of course now disconnected.

well, it *did* find a new kernel, which i installed . . . so there's no network issue.
Maybe start over using apt clean all before apt update.
did all of the above and it still can't locate any of the packages. this is just plain weird.
i wonder -- is there a mirror i could try? i don't see any reference to it on the preliminary stable page, so maybe that's the only repository. if there's another, i could try it.

mirror.xcer.com should be fine. Alternatively, you can use a second mirror with a more official address:
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-sb stretch deps-r14 main-r14
GPG key installation was successful? If you have a problem installing a GPG key from the keyserver, you can use the deb package as shown on the wiki.

changed to that mirror. did apt update and it grabbed 46.3 kb from InRelease and 17.0 kb from amd64 packages. but still none of the packages will install, even though their indices apparently downloaded.
GPG key installation was successful?
yes.

also, i installed xorg and synaptic, and running it from root under (a very bare-bones) X, i can find nothing when searching for trinity except compiz-related stuff and the trinity fuzz generator for those who need more fuzz. nothing having to do with tde. checked the repositories from synaptic and the lines for tde are there, just as they should be.

Would you like to post here or send me directly the content of your /etc/apt ?

At least no preferences simplifies things.
Any chance you can post an exact copy of your sources.list?

before doing that or hacking at it any more, i'm going to do, as we used to say when OS/2 crashed, a rf/ri -- just gonna reformat the partition and reinstall and see if something hiccuped. this ought to have worked by now.
dep
yippee. this time it worked!
no idea why it didn't last time. thanks to everybody who offered help -- i learned a lot.
now i need to find something like adept (it says there's no adept-trinity, so i guess it's beendeprecated, and synaptic won't run via sudo, even with xhost + localhost) so i can go through and install the applications i want on the machine. and to dig up a working e1000 driver for the wifi.
but i have tde running, and my desktop configuration survived, even the xplanet-with-moon-map desktop.
thanks again, everybody.

Did you go to the Trinity install page?

Make sure your sources are correct. Stretch is not going to install untrusted, you need to install the keyring first.
