Is there a simple way to install TDE without sudo these days or do I
need to build it all myself to avoid sudo?

I use TDE on Debian and OpenSuSE, and I have never installed sudo. As far as I
remember it worked on Ubuntu as well without sudo (as soon as I had told
Ubuntu not to use sudo as well). What's your distribution?

I still suspect that 'aptitude install tde-trinity' is not going to like
it when I get this 'hold' problem sorted. I must say, in the past, I
have never had to install sudo (and sudo-trinity etc).

In the long-ago past there were issues when using sudo with KDE(TDE) and a
workaround that allowed you to configure the desktop apps to use su instead of
sudo when administrator rights were needed. In my old notes I have:
Kdesu now again defaults to using su instead of sudo because of various
problems with using sudo there. You can change the default back to sudo using
kwriteconfig --file kdesurc --group super-user-command --key
super-user-command sudo
(or you can change from sudo to su by changing the --key super-user-command su)
If you are having problems with sudo, this is something to check. I don't know
what the default is for TDE or whether this was ever a patch incorporated in
TDE or if it was just an openSUSE patch of KDE3 -- Slavek will know :)
(not intentionally throwing Slavek under the bus...)

There are two ways IMO.
First install without the meta packages
Second install via the meta package and remove what you do not want.
Third option I never tried, but people report that you can omit sudo while
keep sudo-trinity.

Don't like option two as there are shed loads of packages that get
installed by default.
Third option would work but still get sudo variants like sudo-ldap,
sudo-trinity ....... so a no go.
So, as previously said, if somebody can point me at the order/list of
packages to install?
Oh for the good old days. Actually, they're not that old cos I've never
had this issue in the past and it ain't that long since I did a fresh
install of TDE.

In any case, now is good time to change it.

I know practically nothing about git but doesn't that commit only apply
to kcontrol-ldap-*-trinity packages? Anyway, I need to just get to the
labourious task of individually installing packages, or not, as the case
may be, afterall, I don't acually need to have TDE.
