But, oh God, am I slow! I've been lurking on this ML for more than two years, and I only was able to start installing once I could do it in Air-Gapped, i.e. when Jessie RC2 was available...

But it's also such fine feeling that everything went so great in this wholesale dist-upgrade which was actually 100+ packages kind of downgrade, essential packages, system packages. In which wholesale downgrade-kind of dist-upgrade the only issue was that one, which had to show, for the obvious reason that you explain above. All having gone fine even in my little user's quarters means Devuan is going strong!

Nice that your problems are solved :) Regarding util-linux (2.29.2-1+devuan1) that version is needed in order to install sysvinit-utils (2.88dsf-59.9+devuan2) required by initscripts (2.88dsf-59.9+devuan2) and sysvinit-core (2.88dsf- 59.9+devuan2) is needed if you want to try openrc out. In such case you need to enable ascii-proposed: deb http://packages.devuan.org/devuan ascii-proposed main > Thanks for caring! You're welcome.

And also I repeated the entire procedure on my Air-Gapped machine, since the clone is expendable, permanent in my method is what I install in the, later cloned, Air-Gapped master machine...

So very likely! Because I had updated (weeks and weeks ago now) my, originally, Jessie RC2, to stretch, in Air-Gapped, to get FFmpeg and MPlayer/Mencoder, and because I couldn't figure how to do Air-Gapping in Devuan (which I do know how now). > If you are on i386 or amd64 I can send you the required debs for > 2.29.2-1+devuan1 from ascii-propsed. But it has all been solved by now.

The file /lib/init/vars.sh from util-linux is essential to have a successful boot. I'll write down tomorrow how you could fix this. It's about connfiles being removed not getting installed unless forced, and the version of util-linux you have installed (2.29.2-1). Where did you get that version, Debian stretch? If you are on i386 or amd64 I can send you the required debs for 2.29.2-1+devuan1 from ascii-propsed. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
