Once I complete testing, I will upgrade the installation instructions on the wiki and report back to the ML. Testing is somehow slow due to the limited bandwidth for package downloading, so you may as well way a little more until I complete the test. Based on reports from another user (Mike Bird - thanks Mike!), this seems to be the easiest way so far (at least in Debian/Wheezy): apt-get update apt-get install tde-trinity apt-get dist-upgrade Cheers Michele -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJUkjiDAAoJECp1t8qK3tXPOyYP/3ALRR4LTJtYN1BwxBXt60Xa VBcWRzE+EZ8R+zNq73UScjFJ1H6JXh0OnTIsuESPhhvcD03eyi5pApBY7EesJLsB y8STQ7t1RkfFoRv3z7aPDZSsGvkJHpIIpe16izdVyyJ+ZgolnoBapIeC88QT5IdK k8cxNQmi3bfmZR1FwXqzbDJJpKvOcppIS1jkChyWX95PUjqrWdivV6Uoyti4b7EC pqcOcJKFB8TkU+Zm3q3W+2ijpmfLZAddGLWiIq5czjrVYG2YoWMJI7hgPIpCq0ds HHyYQoXKcmv7yGfyHDddHpOL0EOQLLfT28lVPieSWwhLGKwqPiXBzSWX4Ei8fcvV kbceLfPUkQ1psdny0vniCs6A9Ixy8e8icD1jJdj8tTJDwj2BffjdPq2YUPwSPbQd bio3eA/m+HAnR9FRBPnmf3injJGjZ6xxlDujoV5ngo8nFUMuH8yRFdHLPNeUZghU jT48O+9JpviRKi3gG5pcbETPr1wh+UIl+jKQgnIwJQE4XOdQ+MrjkNHpVnJSQSgO LqWfDdVuw8FlRRddmb1fC0VhW1vRwLkm8Krvqink3+vwD7obKmlcuMIMchJrhSyy cqG47N+C33NdUs/o9H03ZwXEdUqbdYT2gn9RdeU6GYKpR6xvB3v4LAZJn/hw53nz aqFpF34fhVormi7hFPl1 =ix2G -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
