Hello
There is a problem with some Internet service providers. deb.devuan.org is constructed in some kind of DNS round-robin manner, and some service providers cope badly with that. A solution can be to replace "deb.devuan.org" in your sources.list with something like "xy.deb.devuan.org", replacing xy with a country-code closer to you. Check the mirror-list in devuan's homepage.
I had the problem with a specific ISP while other ISPs worked fine in the same country.
Good luck.

[SOLVED] Installation Issue with Devuan 5.0.1 – Mirror Errors

Hello,

I’m encountering a problem while trying to install Devuan 5.0.1. When I select the official archive mirror (deb.devuan.org), I get an error in console #4:

"mirror does not support the specified release (daedalus)"

The same issue occurs with many other mirrors located in Russia, Latvia, Lithuania, and other countries. So far, I’ve only managed to install the distribution by using mirrors from Poland and Romania.

Why does this error happen even with the primary mirror (deb.devuan.org)? Is there a known issue with certain regions or mirror synchronization? Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated.
