Okay, so this is a strange request, but maybe others have thought the same thing. I believe somebody mentioned something about downloading the whole shebang, rather than trying to pick and choose.
I like to have a folder with saved packages, for those times when internet is down, or when I do not have a connection. And I will be in that predicament probably a lot, due to some trips I have planned for destinations that are fairly unconnected to the modern world.
Anyway ... I have more or less cloned my desktop system to my laptop, Trinity and all, looks and runs the same, so that much was successful. I do have a few minor issues which I'll bring up later, when I get more spare time.
For now, that would be good, just a way to get apt-get or aptitude to download and install all the packages appropriate for my system. I can weed out what I don't want, and make a list of my preferences.

I'm not sure how apt-based systems do it (I use RPM-based OpenSuSE), but there ought to be a metapackage like trinity-desktop-all which will pull in everything.

Huh, now I am pretty sure that I already tried that.
Sorry about the use of that term *shebang* outside its geeky denotation. I was forgetting that geeks mean #! when they say shebang.
'Tis a good Irish word, if my etymological research is correct, from the same root as shebeen.
Anyway, I'll try that suggestion, or try it again.
Thanks for pointing me to the wiki.

Now I remember why it is that I don't try to install tde-trinity. (I assume this is a kind of meta-package?)
When I try to install, I get this error message: The following packages have unmet dependencies: tdemultimedia-trinity : Depends: libarts1-xine-trinity (>= 4:14.0.11-0debian11.0.0+0) but it is not installable

This might come in handy sometime in the future, but maybe not just now. Interesting to consider, though. Thanks for the idea, Nik. You always invent or discover these fascinating possibilities.
I am unsure if I ever used tde-trinity, or these libarts dependencies. I am trying to rebuild my desktop system, as close as possible, on my laptop. But my lists of packages to be installed have got misplaced due to that corrupted hard drive that I described in detail, ad nauseam et infinitum et cetera et et et ...
So now I am trying not only to rebuild my system, but also to reconstruct my working methods (that is, my installation lists and habits or procedures that I follow). It had got to the point where it just worked, and I didn't think about it, but now I must try to remember what packages I installed or whether I didn't install them, and why. Then, too, I am trying to recreate my system on a different machine, a new laptop, which is obviously going to be different from my old Frankenstein desktop.

Yeah, and I wish I didn't ever use third-party repos, but I need that one to get audacious, qmmp and (I believe) audacity working. Whenever I try to install without them, I get nothing. And these three items are probably more used than anything else right now, as music has become my side-hustle.
If there is some way to get those items working without using Debian Multimedia repos, that would be great. Also I wish that I could use a genuinely free version of audacity, but thus far the various forks don't do the job.

Yeah, I just commented out the Debian Multimedia repos, and downloaded those packages, and now they seem to work ... sort of. I don't know why I had problems getting them before. On my old desktop machine I would download packages mostly from those repos or use sid packages, and they would exist as a kind of island that never got touched by upgrades, unless I manually retrieved new packages. But now I got them to download without using dodgy third-party repos, great!
Except ... like I said ... nothing is ever perfect. I use qmmp to listen to online radio a lot; audacious and others don't work so well for my purposes. But so I got qmmp working, select a station, hit play, and it buffers all the way up to 100%, then just mysteriously dies. Doesn't matter what station. Also I have tried using it over proxy, and with direct connection, but it's the same result.
I would like to get this working in the next hour or so, as there are some online shows that I listen to.

Hi William,
I suggest a quick and dirty check "dpkg -l | grep dmo" to see if you might have any deb-multimedia packages still hanging around.
You could also check that you were sourcing the Bullseye versions of deb-multimedia rather than incompatible earlier versions.
If not I'm going to have to refer you to the Devuan or Debian mailing lists and/or bug trackers.
Good luck,

OMG, nothing simplier than that!! All 3 mentioned are available in the official Debian-distro (stable, testing as well as sid) with all their dependencies. If Devuan does not contain them, kick that distro into the waste-bucket. And your complaint about the non-availability of a genuinely free version of audacity is not valid for the Debian-download! Anything more? Peter.

Maybe you have not heard about the changes in audacity? It now collects and shares our data. Even though it is used almost entirely offline, requires no connection for actual users working at home. Audacity is now at least non-free in the GNU/Linux sense of the term.
For what it's worth, I have purged all dmo packages from Debian Multimedia, have gone with straight Debian packages, and none of my multimedia so far are working. I cannot play online radio on my laptop, but use my phone (thanks to the gods) to listen to my usual shows. However, connection with my phone is rather spotty compared to using a desktop connection.
I am collecting any codecs or libraries I might be missing, but I keep getting the same results. For online radio, I use qmmp; but online radio stations connect, buffering goes up to 100% then they die. When I try to play music files on my machine (using audacious), nothing happens at all; it starts, then holds steady at zero time, 00:00:00.
So yes, you are right, they are available, but no, you are also wrong about my case (which totally mystifies myself, as well), because at the moment none of my multimedia actually work. I keep trying other items, smplayer, vlc, just to see if it is system-wide or isolated to certain players, but no luck at all.

Bill,

This problem has nothing to do at all with Debian/Devuan. TDE, GNU aso! The "free", that is used by these guys refers only to the source-code itself, but not to what you would like to "I am free, nothing interferes with my privacy". Interpreting a personal "sense" into a written statement is up to the interpreter, nothing else.
So yes, you are right, they are available, but no, you are also wrong about my case (which totally mystifies myself, as well), because at the moment none of my multimedia actually work. I keep trying other items, smplayer, vlc, just to see if it is system-wide or isolated to certain players, but no luck at all.
Then back to the roots and NO personal "I know better"-deviations! In /etc/apt/sources.list (and/or sources.list.d) only 2 sources: - one for the original Devuan package-source - one for the trinity-packages, see again the TDE-WiKi (don't forget the keyring) Then start aptitude (nothing else) after you have configured it carefully! and delete from the "installed packages" everything that sounds like multimedia. Oh yes, you will almost certainly be bombed with broken dependencies-warnings, delete everything mentioned. Start aptitude anew and let it 'u'pdate itself. First of all search with / for the TDE-package (base or all) and install it with ALL its dependencies. Check with ~b if you have indeed no broken packages anymore. Then start with / again for the next package you want to have, let's say audacious. You'll get, after pressing +, almost sincerely an unmet-dependencies warning. Solve these again with ~b and +. Aso, aso, aso. Now you have a clean and operable bunch of programs available. Their configuration is the next step.
If that is not to your liking. I am very sorry. Peter.

Scratch this. I was confusing it with another piece of software. Versions of Audacity from 3.0 do contain some dubious components. Curiously enough, Gentoo is frozen on 2.4.2.

Yes, and I am bummed out about this, because I use audacity to create demos & layered tracks, and mix them. Nothing else in the Linux family quite does it so well as audacity; one would have to move over to some totally proprietary software, probably the rotten Apple or maybe Windoze.
I tried some of the forks of audacity, or other software that is supposed to do the same things, but none of them are as good.
And the really weird thing is, audacity doesn't require a connection to do its job: it's pretty much wholly offline use, except for updates and such. There's no reason for these new "developments" except to collect more data, and to give typical corporate obfuscation in their responses to, and "clarifications" of, their new practices and polices.
Why somebody cannot just copy the old audacity code, rebrand it with a different name and icons: this is beyond me. The code was totally GNU/Linux, free/libre, open source, no barriers to further development. But I am not a dev, so there could be things that I don't know.

There's no legal barrier (Audacity 2.4.2's license is GPL-2), so I suspect that it's just that not enough devs are interested. That may or may not change when the last 2.x versions start to bitrot.

following along here Mike, but this s/b a separate thread as I have not been able to install anything trinity, I checked my repo list, looks good.
But I get to the second of the 3 commands above and get this: gene@coyote:~$ sudo apt --dry-run install libarts1-xine-trinity Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
Hi Gene,
That can happen if the builddeps line is missing from your /etc/apt/sources.list

And it was. That added quite a lengthy list of stuff. Thank you very much, Mike, now back to your regularly scheduled program. ;o)
Cheers, Gene Heskett.

Hi Bill,
I like to have a folder with saved packages, for those times when internet is down, or when I do not have a connection.
/var/cache/apt/archives Contains all "regularly-installed" packages, you have to weed out whatever you don't want to keep for eternity.
Rgds.
Yes, I already know that, thanks. I have made a quick command pseudo-script to move stuff to the appropriate folders after installation.
The problem for me here is, rather, how to get the whole shebang, all the trinity packages that I *could* run on my system. When I try to download and install by using terms like meta-trinity, or *-trinity, *-tde, *-tqt, I generally get either no results, or I am told that the list is too long, or that there are all kinds conflicts (because of course nobody really needs everything).
I just want to get whatever is compatible for my current setup, then save those packages from the /var/cache/apt/archives.
Bill
