Apt and Dpkg aren't to blame: they are made to upgrade packages.
Downgrading always need some brain cells.

The main problem is that I use an unsupported system : debian testing
with debian-multimedia packages.
Trinity's Debian packages are for Debian stable ; they aren't fully
and easily installable on Debian testing.
And Trinity's Debian packages create conflicts with
debian-multimedia/stable, another unofficial repository they can't deal
with.

Since I removed all of KDE3 and KDE4 programs, I removed the origins of
the problems that are discussed here ;-)

I'm really happy to run it again.

But... I did some simple tests:
* /usr/bin/kedit (from KDE3 debian/lenny) is using ~/.trinity
* /usr/games/amor (from KDE4 debian/squeeze) stores its files in the
  same folder. And when I start amor-trinity, it says there is a problem
  with nekokurorc... And I have to kill it, edit
  ~/.trinity/share/config/amorrc and restart it.

If I could have amarok and amarok-trinity at the same time, amarok would
use ~/.trinity.
And if I wanted to try amarok 2.3.1 (from KDE4), it will use the same
folder, like other KDE4 programs and it will probably break the
configuration files of amarok-trinity.

Maybe KDEHOME can be changed into TDEHOME for trinity's programs, so
that /usr/bin/<KDE3-OR-KDE4-PROGRAM> uses its own folder in ~/kde or
~/kde4. Has it already been discussed?
