Please give at least an outline of how you performed that upgrade?

I find it somewhat hard to believe that this is a Devuan (rather than Debian)
problem.

Can you identify:

1. whether any of the packages involved in the upgrade have been forked by
Devuan

2. whether a Debian Stretch system running the same applications upgrades to
Buster without the same problems

3. which repositories you are fetching the various packages from


This may help to identify whether:

a) Devuan is causing the problems you experienced

b) the same would have happened under Debian

c) the problems are caused by some mismatch of package versions which can't be
handled by a routine upgrade

Antony.
