If I try to run "sudo apt-get install kwrite", the process wants to install a monstrous list of KDE stuff! -- which I did not do.
TDE packages are called <package>-trinity
For the rest: Renaming is part of the plan to prevent collision with KDE. Usually when I do update and have such situation it helps to identify the base packages and do apt (or apt-get) --reinstall install <package>-trinity. Sometimes apt --fix-broken or --fix-missing help. I recently had another case (when upgrading testing, which was trixie to stable, which is trixie now) ... where an icon or a file was moved to another package and I got a collision and broken install. Doublechecking and then used --ignore-depends. So it depends on the situation, but there are good solutions anyway.
