I must again point out - if the user perform a manual selection of packages to
install, the process containing "apt-get install tde-trinity" is not an just
upgrade, but will install many other packages. Moreover, as you mention, this
step fails. That does not sound like a good way to upgrade.
Please, test this simple procedure:
1) apt-get update
2) aptitude dist-upgrade
As I've mentioned many times before, this procedure on all my test machines
ran smoothly - without any hitch - and it's "really just upgrade".
