As 70% of my PCs will no longer be supported by openSUSE Leap next spring, I decided to begin upgrading them to Tumbleweed before that happens. The first went fine, except for this very retired dependency. As a result, TDM greeter opens, but it errors instead of starting any selection.

I went ahead and force installed trinity-tdelibs, "breaking" it, and it works. I have no idea what functionality may be missing on account of the absent dep. It might be nice to know. TDM and TDE session seem fine.
EXR appears to be an obscure image format that you aren't likely to need unless you're doing certain types of pro graphics work. Imath is a library of graphics-related math datatypes and functions (matrices, vectors, etc.) which the OpenEXR library uses. The EXR stack is an *optional* dependency of tdelibs, and I doubt anything's going to break unless you do something silly with an EXR-formatted image (assuming you can even find one).
