I'm not an ardent conspiracy theorist so that's one step too far for me

I have a little idea I have been tossing around in brain for ages but I'm stuck.
I'm quite used to building rpms but no experience with debs.

No, but I'm not sure that it is a full on solution. it gets you out of a

Hi,
looking for a little advice.
Have spun up a small Devuan instance for a openvpn server for a friend.
I built a similar system for myself some while back in CentOS 6 and used
ndjbdns for tinydns and dnscache.
That has worked well and I wanted to replicate that to Devuan but...
no ndjbdns
I have been having some struggles running dnsmasq on Devuan Jessie.
After a lot of head scratching I started to realise the init file seems
a touch out of whack. For starters, no pid file is generated when you
start dnsmasq.
There I was thinking I was stopping and starting it when in reality, I

Oooops.
Was upgrading to ACSII and all was going swimmingly until right near the
end (usual Friday then !)
Seems eudev is in a knot.
I think it probably needs removing and reinstalling, but that wants to
rip out all the kernels !!!
Any suggestions on getting out of this one without a reboot?

I am booting Devuan ASCII on a VM.
I have had some issues with getting an IP address for the VM on boot.
I had previously been loading iptables like this:

iface eth0 inet dhcp

Better to add a commit message so you know what you were thinking about

Just a FYI - not sure if anyone uses Thunderbird, but for reference they
have released another half baked version which attempts to break lots of
your extensions if you try and upgrade.
This has a decent summary of the issues:

That's the way the companies work, because it works.
That's what you should be doing too.
