If I understand correctly, Mike did not have a problem with aptitude during 
the upgrade, but only after upgrade when he tried to remove the original 
kde-trinity / kde-core-trinity / kde-devel-trinity without also installed 
their successors tde-trinity / tde-core-trinity / tde-devel-trinity.

While in my tests were fundamental problems during the upgrade with apt-get.
