Here's wondering why youu'd need UbuntuDrivers on a Devuan system but
... I'd try an `apt update` with root privileges on the command line
to check that your APT sources are okay. Probably

sudo apt update

will do that trick. If that goes alright (ignoring network issues), you
didn't obviously break your APT setup.

You might also want to post the output of

sed 's/#.*//; /^[ \t]*$/d' /etc/apt/sources.list{,.d/*}

so we can see what sources you're using.

BTW, I don't use synaptic myself. Too much bloat. The command-line
suits my needs just fine.

Hope this helps,
