WARNING! DO NOT APT-GET UPDATE/UPGRADE ON ASCII

But that ought to have been solved:
AMPROLLA GLITCH: ISSUE SOLVED -- PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/20170628.160400.b98c6ead.en.html
(that's more than six hours later than the WARNING)

I was able to apt-get update, didn't have issues. This is from my user-made
(just "apt-get update |& tee <somewhere") logs, and that was on "2017-06-30 17:43 UT":

Get:1 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii InRelease [113 kB]

Fetched 580 kB in 4s (144 kB/s)
Reading package lists...

I'm on amd64, (also) a rather old machine. But maybe not so old, 500M is
nowhere a problem in this setup of mine... It's all on 250G HDD.
