Broken installation

From: ant <aw30@...>

Help! Following what I thought was a routine upgrade of my Debian Jessie/Sid 
system, Trinity has broken. Completely. Many programs have disappeared 
from  /opt/trinity/bin (most particularly kmail - I'm writing this on an old 
backup system).
In an attempt to recover this, I have (I believe) downgraded the system to 
Wheezy with the following  /etc/apt/sources.list

------
deb http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.nz.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main non-free contrib

deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free

### I tried both this set and the ones below
deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/slavek-banko/axis/ubuntu wheezy 
main
deb-src http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/slavek-banko/axis/ubuntu 
wheezy main

##deb 
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian 
wheezy main
##deb-src 
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-v3.5.13/debian 
wheezy main
##deb 
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.13/debian 
wheezy main
##deb-src 
http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-v3.5.13/debian 
wheezy main

After that,

apt-get install desktop-base-trinity
appears to work. But

apt-get install kde-trinity
gives:

-----
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 kde-trinity : Depends: kde-core-trinity (>= 5:47) but it is not going to be 
installed
               Depends: kdeaddons-trinity (>= 4:3.5.5) but it is not going to 
be installed
               Depends: kdegraphics-trinity (>= 4:3.5.5) but it is not going 
to be installed
               Depends: kdepim-trinity (>= 4:3.5.5) but it is not going to be 
installed
               Depends: kdeutils-trinity (>= 4:3.5.5) but it is not going to 
be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Several questions:

What have I done wrong?! All suggestions welcome...
I tried to follow the instructions at 
http://www.trinitydesktop.org/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/DebianBinaryInstallation
Are they actually correct?
Has anyone else succeeded in a new or upgraded installation in the last couple 
of days?

cheers
