On the test machine with Ubuntu I used TDE LiveCD - tde-3.5.13.2-ubuntu-12.04.2 - here is used metapackage trinity-livecd. On my test machine with Debian Squeeze is therefore the difference between 'apt-get install tde-trinity' and 'aptitude dist-upgrade' abysmal: apt-get install tde-trinity: 72 upgraded, 456 newly installed, 1 to remove and 31 not upgraded. Need to get 339 MB of archives. After this operation, 687 MB of additional disk space will be used. aptitude dist-upgrade: 92 packages upgraded, 64 newly installed, 15 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 137 MB of archives. After unpacking 63.8 MB will be used. -- Sl�vek
