Hi, all,

My first post to this list!

For the last couple of days I've been trying to keep up-to date on Ceres,
which I do quite regularly.

But now, If I run the usual

sudo apt-get -u dist-upgrade

I get the following alert:

WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed.
This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing!
init sysvinit-core (due to init)
49 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 481 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
Need to get 62.2 MB of archives.
After this operation, 9362 MB disk space will be freed.
You are about to do something potentially harmful.
To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, do as I say!'

Of course I don't want to remove 481 packages. What am I doing wrong?

This is the deb repo I'm picking from:

nico@lenovo-devuan:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceres.list
