hey,

running unstable you can come across situations like this, many times.
personally i use safer `apt upgrade ` in ceres/unstable. mainly, cause i
need the system running :)

as for this current situation, i don't have such an issue with ceres.
can you paste someplace, a list of upgrades? (`apt list --upgradable`)

you could try updateing from another mirror as well, maybe sync delays
can trigger such issues.

sources.list, mixed w/testing :
deb http://xx.deb.devuan.org/merged/ testing main non-free contrib
deb http://xx.deb.devuan.org/merged/ testing-security main non-free contrib
deb http://xx.deb.devuan.org/merged/ testing-updates main non-free contrib
deb http://xx.deb.devuan.org/merged/ ceres main non-free contrib
