Ascii (Devuan 2.x) is not yet a stable release and it is subjected to continuous changes. Therefore there is no official TDE support for it, although TDE runs smoothly in Ascii.

We suggest the following steps for upgrading to the R14.0.4 version.
 
 
sudo apt-get update
 
sudo aptitude full-upgrade
 
 
This will upgrade TDE to the new version and should complete smoothly. After these two steps, some dummy packages may still be installed on your system and could be safely removed. To perform such operation, choose one of the following optional steps.<br>
 
 
*A. If you have previously installed kde-trinity, use:
 
sudo aptitude install tde-trinity
 
This will install all Trinity packages except the development ones.
 
 
 
*B. If you have previously installed some Trinity meta packages (such as kde-core-trinity, kdeadmin-trinity,...) use:
 
sudo aptitude install <tde-equivalent-metapackage>
 
where <tde-equivalent-metapackage> is the equivalent package in R14 (tde-core-trinity, tdeadmin-trinity,...).<br>
 
This should be repeated for all installed meta packages.
 
 
 
*C. Run aptitude in interactive mode, limit the display to '~i-trinity~ddummy" and manually check/delete/upgrade unneeded packages from the ones displayed.
