Between blltty, orca and the new kde, I'm admitting defeat.
I'm sorry, dependency hell is no fun. No fun at all.
So the first question is how do I install tde to debian-11-3?
The way I've done it is to install a base Debian with XFCE, everything just defaults. I've also done a base install without any desktop at all, no XFCE, Gnome, KDE, etc. No X environment. TDE correctly depends upon "desktop-base" and the X applications and graphical support are all imported correctly with "tde-trinity".
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list with the TDE repository, download and add the signing keys by hand (even though it's deprecated apt-key install tde.asc still works fine).
Since I use dselect for package management, I do a quick search for "tde-trinity" and press +. I'm sure "apt-get install tde-trinity" would work just as well.
That's it.
As an aside, I've also annually archived my .trinity directory in its entirety and by restoring that before the install I have kept all the addresses, defaults, colors, and style which I've created over the years and prefer. But that's all just window dressing.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
