What is the difference between beowulf-backports and
beowulf-proposed-upgrades?

Of my three recent installations of beowulf-3.1 I noticed after
selecting online mirroring (deb.devuan.org), the first two included
beowulf-backports and the third included beowulf-proposed-updates
in .etc/apt/sources.list.

As proposed updates produced a long list of packages problems, I
swapped to backports.

FIIW, if you want to pulled in all the latest(?) of your packages, a
sudo apt-get -t beowulf-backports upgrade will pull them all in.

Tip, check the list for any old stuff you no longer need and sudo
apt-get purge old-package.
