Re: [trinity-users] Who are using 3.5.13.x series?

Wheezy and Jessie/testing 7.2.. Have same prob with Mint 15 and
verious 2 year old Ubuntus.

It's not the fault of Trinity devs at all that I can tell. Yes, I do mess
with repos and possibly make mistakes that way.

It's a "feature" of later Wheezy versions of apt-get. Somebody decided
that Debian needed to be "cleaned up" every time you install something,
and based on researching this on Debian messageboards, the majority
insist on believing this is a good idea. Tough luck for me I guess.

So, for example, if I try to upgrade my totally obsolete Iceweasel or Firefox,
apt-get will insist on removing Trinity, Xorg and countless other vitally
important items. In fact, I can't install or upgrade anything now.
