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.

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.

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.

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 ?

kinda tough in that i haven't even begun to set up email on that machine. here's a
quick rundown; anything that stands out i'll enter by hand if you see something:
/etc/apt
/apt.conf.d/
/00CDMountPoint
00aptitude
00trustcdrom
01autoremove
01autoremove-kernels
20listchanges
70debconf
99synaptic
/preferences.d/
[empty]
/sources.list.d/
[empty]
/trusted.gpg.d/
[eight debian archives:debian, stretch, and wheezy]
/listchanges.conf contains:
[apt]
frontend=pager
confirm=false
email_address=root
save_seen=/var/lib/apt/listchanges.db
which=news
/sources.list contains deb and deb-src lines for stretch updates, security updates,
backports, and trinity preliminary stable
/trusted.gpg contains binary stuff

Difficult without being able to load your /etc/apt into a VM and test it.
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.

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

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.
