The problem here is simply that you are trying to install what you do not have the required dependencies for. The problem is not Wheezy 7.3, dpkg/apt nor TDE.. What is on these dvd's is not enough. It does not matter whether you use apt-get or aptitude. If you can't network this box to the repos all you can do is identify exactly what packages are missing, download them from another networked box to a removable, then transfer them to /var/cache/apt/archives. > The following packages have unmet dependencies: > kde-trinity : Depends: kde-core-trinity (>= 5:47) but it is not going > to be installed Clue: find out why kde-core-trinity won't install and work back from there. I have had to do this many times, working with TDE and Debian Sid. Good luck to you! It will be hard work. D
