Package: libapt-pkg5.0
Version: 1.4.8

When full-upgrading on a Devuan Ascii/Ceres VM, despite
'APT::Default-Release' set to 'ascii' in
'/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00defaultrelease', the kernel from ceres is
starting to get fetched - it appears that libapt thinks there is no
'ascii' in the sources (error right at the start):

# sudo aptitude update

===============================================================

'/etc/apt/sources.list' has various repos as the VM is used for testing
and in general I keep an Ascii system with important stuff pulled from
Ceres when it gets too out of date:

apt-cacher-ng is normally in use, but has been commented out here.

Over the years I have seen this bug in Debian (suddenly deciding the
named release isn't present in the sources), I'll see what I can find out.

I haven't seen this problem resurfacing for some releases, so I believe it
is gone - if I am in error please reopen.
