And you might need to get rid of desktop-base, as it conflicts with desktop-base-trinity. Either apt-get purge desktop-base or dpkg --force-all --purge desktop-base. These packages (tdm-trinity & desktop-base-trinity) often give me this kind of problem, with false readings about missing dependencies, because they aren't fully installed. Bill

This is what I usually do when I run into these problems: 1) create a list of manually installed packages, in this case for trinity packages: # apt list --manual-installed|grep trinity|cut -d / -f 1|tr '\n' ' '; echo > manual-installed.txt 2) purge the offending package, in this case "ksplash-trinity". This will most likely remove other packages, too, that's why I saved the list before - or simply purge all of trinity: # apt purge ksplash-trinity 3) clear the package archive - sometimes the archives are bad: # apt clean 4) reinstall the missing packages: # apt install $(cat manual-installed.txt) 5) reboot, just to be sure. Sometimes xorg gets deleted, too. Keep an eye on it. Also sometimes tdm-trinity is "lost". When that happens, tde does not start either. So maybe you should check that, too.
