Same here. I was previously using the util-linux suite from angband.pl
(1:2.25x) but this is since superceded by 1:2.26.2-6+devuan1 ..

I note that debian mainstream has 1:2.25x for jessie and 1:2.26x for
"testing". Can someone help explain why devuan-jessie is using 1:2.26x
and the proper way to deal with this problem? I was hoping not to be
going back to manually-held stuff.
