(Here I need to use shift copy or shift paste touse w xterm. Highlighting
and then clicking in the second spot also works,)

And with this information I found what was wrong - - - - somehow I only had
devuan-security devuan-updates and devuan-backports set up.
For some reason (I usually include notes in my files but none for this change)
I had hashed out the vanilla devuan lines - - - argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I changed things back, also added the non-free-firmware - - - that change
is newish iirc, then apt install nut . . .    worked as it was supposed to.


Thanking y'all for your assistance in tracking down my self imposed problem.
