So, you are using auto.mirror.devuan.org. I did use deb.devuan.org,
according to https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list

"IMPORTANT NOTE: auto.mirror is now deprecated and will be
decomissioned. Please make sure you have the latest devuan-keyring
package with apt-get install devuan-keyring and then point
your /etc/apt/sources.list to deb.devuan.org."


Indeed, when I change the sources.list to auto.mirror.devuan.org, I got
updates.

So I guess, the documentation at
https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list is wrong?
