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.

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.

Hi William,
Looks like you are using TDE stable for Debian Bullseye with Devuan
Chimaera which should work.
However the dmo5 above suggests that you're also using Debian Multimedia.
Do you actually need that?

Also I have tried using it over proxy, and with direct connection, but it's

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?

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,
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.
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.

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.

libxine2 : Depends: libxine2-plugins (=
1:1.2.11-dmo5) but it is not
installable or
libxine2-misc-plugins (= 1:1.2.11-dmo5) but it is not
installable
Recommends: libxine2-ffmpeg but it is not installable
Hi William,
Looks like you are using TDE stable for Debian Bullseye with Devuan
Chimaera which should work.
However the dmo5 above suggests that you're also using Debian Multimedia.
Do you actually need that?
What please is the output of:
apt-cache policy libxine2-plugins

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.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
tdelibs14-trinity : Depends: libjasper1 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
but broken packages is not the problem, it is that there is no such package
as libjasper1 in the repo's. None, nada, zip, taint there to install???? A
typu someplace?
I'm in no great hurry as I have the newer kmail mostly working, but sure am
curious. So when you get a chance...
Thanks, take care and stay well Mike.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.

Hi Gene,
That can happen if the builddeps line is missing from your
/etc/apt/sources.list

Hi Bill,
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
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.
