Hello Jaret,

I am not sure about the differences on your setup and mine. I have tried
to use Devuan merged repository and I get the same result, that the
installation of udev is still failed. It shows the exact same error as
when I am using Debian wheezy. Please have a look the detail below.

Or is it perhaps due to I blocked too many packages which causing that
failure?

But looking at the error, it shows that udevd cannot be not found.

Cheers,

Anto
