I'm having an issue with my daughter's netbook that I just upgraded from
lenny to squeeze. The main problem is that it is 2100 miles away. In any
case, I did the upgrade according to the squeeze release notes.
When I did the upgrade, I changed the sources.list to point to squeeze,
including trinity.
However, it deinstalled kde-trinity, kdemultimedia-trinity and
kdewebdev-trinity. So after the upgrade, I tried to reinstall.
# apt-get install kde-trinity kdemultimedia-trinity kdewebdev-trinity

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

kdewebdev-trinity : Depends: quanta-trinity (>= 4:3.5.12-0debian7+r1158456)
but it is not going to be installed
Depends: kommander-trinity (>=
4:3.5.12-0debian7+r1158456) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
What do I need to do to get this reinstalled?
Thanks,

What method did you use to upgrade? apt-get, aptitude, synaptic ? Using apt-get
from the cli has a couple of options.
The unmet dependencies could be caused by the method of upgrading,
'apt-get dist-upgrade' allows installation of new dependencies, 'apt-get
upgrade'
only upgrades existing packages. Also 'apt-get -f install' will try to
'fix' a
failed upgrade.
The release notes seem to prefer apt-get over aptitude, a reversal from the Lenny.
release. I normally try all cli install tools when something like this happens,
don't use gui stuff. My preferred package manager is still 'dselect' .

Hi Greg,
I used apt-get, because thats what the squeeze release notes recommended.
What I did was apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade ; apt-get dist-upgrade.
apt-get -f install gives me a list of packages to deinstall, a good number
of which seems to be trinity or trinity-related. I figure that aptitude full
upgrade will deinstall as well.

Would letting apt-get or aptitude uninstall everything it wants then trying
to reinstall it all? I don't hold a lot of hope for this as this is what I
was planning to do with the packages for the dist-upgrade, but this didn't
work out so well...

Do so, but keep notes what it does. You could try aptitude and reinstall the
trinity stuff that got uninstalled in a second pass.

+1, don't worry about uninstalling packages, you can always install them again if
needed. I have succesfullycompletely remove X and all gui apps, down to a base
