If for some reason delayed building other platforms repository is in an inconsistent state. As is the case now. In the case of the inconsistent repository is not a good idea to try to solve the broken update. It is preferable to hold the previous version and wait for new packages. Now you have three solutions: 1) Manually download packages from the repository for the older version and manually install them. https://quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/~trinity/+archive/trinity-nightly-builds/+sourcepub/74269/+listing-archive-extra 2) On my builder I can build for you tdebase and somehow deliver to you. 3) The package you build yourself. -- Slavek
