Need to get 231 MB of archives. After unpacking 626 MB will be used. Oops, that's a bit much. I think we could recommend something like this: If you had installed metapackage kde-trinity, kde-core-trinity or kde-devel-trinity, these are not updated automatically. For the update is necessary to use one of the following: aptitude install tde-trinity aptitude install tde-core-trinity aptitude install tde-devel-trinity As I watched, there are several transitional dummy packages which would still have had to be removed manually. For example kde-i18n-*, kio-locate, kradio,... For such I would suggest the following: 4) Run aptitude in interactive mode, enter Limit Display '~i-trinity~ddummy" and manually check and delete unneeded packages. > > Can you test on your machines as well and let me know?
