Installation questions

When I run:
  sudo apt-get update
and then
  sudo aptitude install tde-trinity
to install TDE on my 64-bit stretch system, some of the things I see are
sufficiently concerning that I don't want to go ahead and allow the
installation without further guidance and confirmation that I'm not about to
break something important.

The output is:

----

[HN:apt] sudo aptitude install tde-trinity
The following NEW packages will be installed:
<lots of new packages>
but then:
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  chromium-inspector{u} libgsoap5{u} libwebp5{u} libwebpdemux1{u}
virtualbox-dkms{u}
The following packages will be upgraded:
  libart-2.0-2
1 packages upgraded, 328 newly installed, 5 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get 222 MB/225 MB of archives. After unpacking 593 MB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 desktop-base-trinity : Conflicts: desktop-base but 9.0.2 is installed
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Remove the following packages:
1)     desktop-base [9.0.2 (now, stable)]

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] q

----

So:

1. Looking at the packages that will be removed, will I still be able to run
virtualbox if virtualbox-dkms is removed? [I think that the answer is yes, but
I would like some assurance from someone who is more certain than am I.]

2. And then what about desktop-base? The version that is currently installed
is from the official debian stable repository, so I don't think that I should
be removing it. So what should I do about this conflict?
