Hi Rob,

I don't know if it is related, and maybe my comment is just silly, but
in order to upgrade from Wheezy I believe you should give an "apt-get
dist-upgrade" and not a simple "apt-get upgrade".

Sorry if the comment is too stupid or irrelevant, but this little
detail might make a difference. Also, I don't know if direct upgrading
from Wheezy to Ceres (which is equivalent to an upgrade from an
"old-stable" to an "unstable", in Debian words) is actually supported,
but Devuan developers will certainly be able to clarify this point
better.
