Now there are only 6 trinity packages that will install without triggering a broken

So atm I am back on kde5 and doing battle with windmills. I've not been able to ID the cause, but if its fixed so it will install alongside another desktop, on bullseye, please advise.
Gene,
What EXACTLY is the first thing that goes wrong after installing a MINIMAL Bullseye when you do PRECISELY WHAT try to install TDE?
If you've already installed gdm3 or xfce4 or kde5 I don't want to know. If it's TDE you want why isn't it TDE you're installing?
Quit yelling at me Mike. Try looking at the installer and tell me how to
install tde from the installer. We are at the mercy of the installer which
refused to proceed when I attempted to not install a gui desktop. If you want to yell at somebody, go yell at debian for not offering it.
This works fine for a lot of people - I've done it dozens of times - and we don't end up with gdm3 or xfce4 or kde5 when we install TDE.
If you try to rip it out later, it even threatens to remove the kernel.
And TBT, I'm tired of being yelled at and chastised over what is an installer decision I have no control over even in the expert mode.

Gene,
Was it the standard Debian Bullseye installer or some variant and if so which?
Which mode did you run it in - expert, guided, other?
Did you get to a screen similar to this? https://tecadmin.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/installing-debian11-image057...
Did you check the last (standard utils box) and optionally (your choice) check the penultimate (ssh) box and leave all the other boxes unchecked? You especially do not want the first box (Desktop) checked if you're not installing a Desktop using this installer.
Is this where it "refused to proceed", if not where?
What error did it give when it "refused to proceed"?
