dear Joel,

tl;dr : known bug since long. CenturionDan is working on it with a
final strategy to solve it. Please use bugs.devuan.org next time!

this is a known bug since long now, due to the way Amprolla 1 was
done. Recently, because of this and other discrepancies, CenturionDan
is investigating the adoption of dak for the main Devuan repository, a
solution that will solve this bug and some other glitches.

Amprolla will stay as a handy tool to be used by derivative distros
with a small subset of changed packages and a rewrite/cleanup is also
being lead by Parazyd.

While its useful to mention here the plans unfolding, I recommend
using bugs.dyne.org to report bugs and always search on it if there is
anything already open on the subject

thanks!
