BTW I have no idea about the level of pureness desired, so I can't say. It was decided to add a Devuan specific package - python-apt-common-devuan, that is already in ceres but nothing depends on it. Soon the parts in tasksel that recommend synaptic will also recommend python-apt-common-devuan, so it would get installed automatically... Please test that - it does not depend on anything, so it should be easy to install the ceres package anywhere. Updates to the stable releases are pending after more thorough testing.

It is not stupid at all - technically that is possible because there would be no filename conflict.

Forking yet another package will add to the load but I don't think that adding the templates to base-files is a good idea. It hides their origin and quite likely leads to not noticing upstream changes.

Could this somehow be added to debian or devuan? The templates live in python-apt-common (this package is not forked in Devuan). There are two options: 1) Submit a PR to the packager/team in Debian 2) Fork the package for Devuan and maintain the appropriate information in it My opinion is that 1) is not a good option, because the mirror list is volatile information and that would require stable updates on a regular basis (and that won't easily happen in Debian) Also I have noticed that this is not existing: http://security.devuan.org/ and MatchURI: is not proper in most cases (contents of Devuan.info) I can help with packaging the forked python-apt-common but I can not help with testing because I do not use aptitude.

Hi,
for me synaptic is useful to find software I don't now about,
with simple queries I'm served a list of matches with summaries to choose from.

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

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.
I'd have loved using aptitude but could never understand how to do
the simplest thing with it, although I watched several experts using it
and was impressed. As a menu-driven package manager, I very often use
Synaptic, leaving apt-get for quick simple things or when dist-upgrading.
I don't use synaptic with pkexec to get the permission. I think I
haven't pkexec installed. I have a button on my pannel programmed with
sh -c "SUDO_ASKPASS=/usr/bin/ssh-askpass sudo -A synaptic".
For this to work, I must have ssh-askpass installed, /etc/sudoers
configured to allow me to invoque synaptic, plus the following line in
/etc/sudoers:
Defaults env_keep = "EDITOR LOGNAME XAUTHORITY DISPLAY"
Only XAUTHORITY and DISPLAY are needed in this case, the other
variables serve other purposes.
Hth.
