Hi Luciano, list,

Apologies! I just noticed that I didn't pay enough attention to the
package name and only focussed on the version :-/

The error message is about linux-libc-dev which is at 4.19.181-1 for
Beowulf. So while close, the mirror that your apt-get install used was
out-of-date. Try running `apt-get update` and `apt-get install` again.

You can check

https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html?c=package&q=linux-libc-dev

for the available versions. Have a look at each version's sources.list
entry and find one that matches your APT sources.

Hope this helps,
