Stupid me.  I thought that since  5.10.179-3 was an official
Debian/Devuan release

as shown by the page at
https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html?c=package&q=linux-image-5*&x=submit


which produces, among other things,

linux-image-5.10.0-23-amd64
5.10.179-3
<https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/package-query.html?c=package&q=linux-image-5.10.0-23-amd64=5.10.179-3>
http://deb.devuan.org/merged
chimaera-proposed-updates/main
amd64
http://deb.devuan.org/merged
chimaera-security/main
amd64

and since this is supposed to be GPL licensed,
so the source code is supposed to be available.

Your behavior gives yet another reason why people don't and/or can't help.

Had you actually taken the time to follow this thread, you would know
that I have
an official release that introduced a bug when upgraded to from another
official release.
I was only trying to help the maintainers with information before
submitting a bug report.

If anyone is actually interested in helping (as a couple others have
attempted), please reply.
If you want to exercise the list without actually knowing what you are
talking about, please
start another thread.

Ken
