Hi,
apt works for me it is just the dialog to modify, add or delete repositories in synaptic
that doesn't work as some template is missing:

aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template for Devuan/chimaera

I was wondering If we couldn't add this template to synaptic itself
or to software-properties-gtk package.

Ciao,
Tito
