I am very glad you solved your problem, in the end. For the future,
please try to be more considerate before rushing to report the
"incompetent" behaviour of something of somebody else :)

Here at Devuan we naturally tend to love unconditionally all those who
are in good faith, irrespective or their own "moments" (and we all
have ours). But you might get much nastier replies and worse reactions
elsewhere ;)

P.S.: Concerning the onethousand-twohundred-and-counting packages to
upgrade, it looks like your system has remained stuck somewhere close
to late 2015 or early 2016, so it's normal to have that many packages
to be upgraded in 18 months, especially if you enable -backports,
-updates, and -security.
