That's why my child is still on Jessie and I'm in such a bad mood lately, lol. I agree with Adfeno about filing the bug report with the Devuan developers and moving on. The people you are trying to help might be better off with a stable release and backports.
Keep going. I had some trouble with the Parabola install script last night that I can't put into words yet, but will troubleshoot and get back to you on the appropriate thread as soon as I can.
