At this point if you want to track down the bug, i suggest following: Force reinstall tdm-trinity (unless you clean apt-cache the package is in /var/cache/apt/archives, just dpkg -i the last version. If default dm stays tdm-trinity after that than i have absolutely no idea what happened. Maybe whatever program you used to update (apt? apt-get? aptitude? some gui?) calls dpkg in some weird way, but its hard to track this - downgrade to a previous version and upgrade again using different programs? If it changed to slim - Force reinstall slim. If default dm remained slim after that than this is a bug in tdm-trinity install scripts, create a bug report in trinity bugzilla. If it changed back to tdm-trinity than this is a bug in dpkg (probably devuan one, as i dont have this problem on stretch). Report this to devuan. -- Nick Koretsky (nick.koretsky@xxxxxxxxx) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
