When I run: sudo apt-get update and then sudo aptitude install tde-trinity to install TDE on my 64-bit stretch system, some of the things I see are sufficiently concerning that I don't want to go ahead and allow the installation without further guidance and confirmation that I'm not about to break something important. The output is: ---- [HN:apt] sudo aptitude install tde-trinity The following NEW packages will be installed: <lots of new packages> but then: The following packages will be REMOVED: chromium-inspector{u} libgsoap5{u} libwebp5{u} libwebpdemux1{u} virtualbox-dkms{u} The following packages will be upgraded: libart-2.0-2 1 packages upgraded, 328 newly installed, 5 to remove and 1 not upgraded. Need to get 222 MB/225 MB of archives. After unpacking 593 MB will be used. The following packages have unmet dependencies: desktop-base-trinity : Conflicts: desktop-base but 9.0.2 is installed The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Remove the following packages: 1) desktop-base [9.0.2 (now, stable)] Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] q ---- So: 1. Looking at the packages that will be removed, will I still be able to run virtualbox if virtualbox-dkms is removed? [I think that the answer is yes, but I would like some assurance from someone who is more certain than am I.] 2. And then what about desktop-base? The version that is currently installed is from the official debian stable repository, so I don't think that I should be removing it. So what should I do about this conflict?
