upgrade on my notebook machine went relatively uneventfully, so i 
thought it safe to upgrade desktop machine. and boke everything to 
the extent that i do not have x on the desktop machine at all.

am running ubuntu-12.04LTS

from a terminal, having added the specified lines to my sources.list 
and commented out the old tde lines, i did:

sudo apt-get update
sudo aptutide upgrade

due to server congestion i had to run the latter several times. it 
then specified a problem, to be solved by removal of libcal2b-trinity 
and libqt-perl.

the installation blows up in a fashion too long to list here -- i'd 
have to type it in character by characer, and it includes "25 not 
fully installed or removed" when i went back at it with sudo apt-get 
dist-upgrade. that command blows up with:

dpkg: error 
processing /var/cache/apt/archives/tdelibs-data-trinity_4%3a14.0.0-r1231-0ubuntu12.04.0+pr138_all.deb

overwrite '/opt/trinity/share/icons/crystalsvg/16x16/devices/cdrom_unmount_encrypt.png',

not real sure how to proceed. ideas?

thanks.
