Hi Alexis,

You cannot have xfce4-power-manager from angband.pl installed
together with Devuan's upower. Also angband.pl xfce4-power-manager
dependencies are not strict enough to prevent upower from Debian Jessie
(0.99.1-3.2) being considered as candidate.

I guess, if you do not pin, this situation is too complicated for
apt-get/aptitude resolver.

But there is no problem with Devuan (except maybe that it adds epoch to
upower which IMHO could be avoided).

It seems you have problem because you are mixing various sources and do
not have appropriate apt pinning setup.

xfce4-power-manager package is not forked in Devuan. It depends on
upower (>= 0.99). I think you confused it with angband.pl
xfce4-power-manager (1.4.1-2.0nosystemd1) ?

Devuan/Debian xfce4-power-manager is satisfied by upower
1:0.9.23-2+devuan1.2 because of the epoch, and it is also the only
upower package in Devuan repositories.

IMHO xfce4-power-manager should be forked and its dependency on upower
lowered instead of adding epoch to upower. Because either upower >=
0.99 is not needed or we are already breaking xfce4-power-manager
functionality.
