Major problems installing Trinity 3.5.13 with Slavek's repository on Fresh install of Squeeze

I have frequently installed Trinity before, 3.5.11, 3.5.12,  3.5.13, 3.5.13 
with Slavek's repositories.  I have never had a problem before.

I am getting desperate.  I am running 3.5.10 on Lenny on my working m/c at the 
moment, and the system is sickly.  I *need* a working box.  And I *need* 
KMail in order to have continued access to my emails.

I have been trying for hours over several days to install on a newbuild.  I 
have posted before about the problems I had initially.  When I installed 
desktop-base-trinity separately it went on without a hitch.  I can find no 
way of installing kde-trinity.

Having tried for hours to install kde-trinity from where I had got to, I gave 
in and installed LXDE.  I immediately gained a functioning LXDE.  I have 
installed from inside LXDE frequently in the past.  I have installed with 
Slavek's repositories already enabled in the past.

Having got my functioning LXDE, I again tried to install kde-trinity.  Again 
no success.  Exactly the same result as before.

I installed some of the missing packages manually, but most of them refused to 
install.

I have just tried again, and this time I got a shorter, and therefore legible, 
list of problems, but most of the unresolved dependencies were virtual 
packages and refused to install.

The only thing that I can think of to try now is to do a default install of 
Squeeze, get Gnome 3 (yuk!) and try to install from there.  Any better ideas?  
All suggestions welcomed.
