Hello my fellow VUA's!
Time for a history lesson which I'm sure will benefit many on this forum. Very few of those who use Devuan have ever interacted with the Veteran Unix Administrators who were responsible for initiating the Debian fork. The VUAs are a collective of skilled system admins - I once heard about 800 - based in Northern ltaly. Here is a history of that group. (Now I won't have to go searching for that link ever again . . .)
wtf why they have blue turk flags ??
Did you read the article or just have a knee-jerk reaction? Perhaps this is why?
"Xinjiang is the home to the Uyghurs, a Turkic people who mostly follow Islam and have a distinct culture and language."

You freakin ROCK Golinux!
No. The Devuan team rocks!
Most likely . . .
Firejail does the same thing on firefox. It is a feature not a bug. Since information can pass both ways, it prevents access to your personal information. It took me a while to adjust to it.
Happy mirroring!!
I guess you didn't see the response to your bug report. I assume that was written by KatolaZ:
Your bug report is not that useful, since you must include the
relevant content of the debmirror.conf file that you are using.In order to mirror only devuan-specific suites in ascii for amd64,
your debmirror.conf should have something like:$host="pkgmaster.devuan.org";
$remoteroot="devuan";
$download_method="http";
@dists="ascii";
@sections="main,main/debian-installer,contrib,non-free";
@arches="amd64";I have tried it now myself with:
$ debmirror -p --keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/devuan-archive-keyring.gpg ./devuan-only
and it works.
So sounds like PEBKAC.
Devuan filters the Debian packages. If you use Debian packages directly, chances are that eventually something will slip in and break your system or you won't be able to upgrade properly.
This has been discussed on the dng mail list and the irc channels and even this forum. Unfortunately I don't understand it well enough to explain it. IIRC it only happens on an upgrade, not a new install. The devs are working hard to sort things so that the needed files are deleted/delivered under every possible circumstance.

I have multiple Debian2s which have Grub, LightDM and XFCE in German.
What's the problem to test?

be update men!
I have no idea what that means but next time try (wo)men.
in debian problem was gone away many time ago, its now a serious problem in devuan due in debian only the interface have that problems, but in devuan problems are in the keyboard, in the display manager and also in the user environment
You are not the only one using a language other than English. If it were a problem in Devuan many more people would be bringing it to our attention.

Looks more like a Libre Office advert to me. Why not get it from the Devuan repos?
Dear dev1rs
On February 14th 2015, Devuan unveiled a "pre-alpha" Valentine release
of Devuan Jessie [1] just a few months after the Veteran Unix Admins
declared their intention to fork Debian on November 27th 2014 [2].
That was the beginning of our collective journey. Now, three years later,
Valentine's day has more love for the Devuan community. The long-awaited
release of Devuan 2.0 ASCII Beta (minor planet nr. 3568) is here!## So what's new in Devuan 2.0 ASCII Beta?
- OpenRC is installable using the expert install path (thanks Maemo Leste!)
- eudev has replaced systemd-udev (thanks Gentoo!)
- elogind has been added as an alternative to consolekit (thanks Gentoo!)
- Desktop users can choose among fully functional XFCE (Default), KDE,
Cinnamon, LXQT, MATE, and LXDE desktops
- CLI-oriented users can select the "Console productivity" task that installs
a fully-featured set of console-based utils and tools.
- A .vdi disk image is now provided for use with VirtualBox.
- ARM board kernels have been updated to 4.14 and 4.15 for most boards.
Miyo . . . you always make me smile . . .

Hmmm...sounds almost as though you designed it or something.
LOL!
Who? Me? LOL!
The desktop base (that included elogind) changed the custom grub screen background that I'd made for Miyo. It became the Dark Purpy background. It actually blends in pretty well...but I changed it back.
Yes, desktop-base provides the default theme from boot to the desktop.
My philosophy has always been to let Miyo be Devuan. I don't blacklist any packages in case a user wants to use them. The themes may be wanted by users...and yes, I also hack on the desktop base grub screen background and theme text.
I used to always have to do that. Now Devuan comes personalized to my preferences. LOL!
Isn't there a way to blacklist a package? But then I suppose not having elogind could break other stuff like if someone is dual booting Miyo and KDE. You really should be interacting with the devs about this maybe on irc.
Did you install the new Devuan key before trying to upgrade?
Unfortunately, I can't answer your question but I can welcome you to the forum as our 500th member!!

That helped to clarify the issue. This is the tor address on devuan.org. Please notice the deb tor+http://

deb tor+http://devuanfwojg73k6r.onion/merged jessie-security mainIf you just replace jessie with ascii without altering it in any other way, I was advised that tor will work perfectly.
Also please remove tor:// when using pkgmaster and use http in that case.

<golinux> Is and has the onion address of the repository been forwarded to pkgmaster
<KatolaZ> yes
KatolaZ requested that you post your sources.list. Have any other repositories EVER been used on the ascii installations tested?
Don't shoot the messenger. I have never expressed a technical assessment on your issue because I have never used tor in conjunction with a repository. Heck, I've barely used tor at all! Without that experience I am unqualified to have an opinion or comprehend because I have no point of reference. Instead, I have attempted to point you in the direction of those who could better help you sort things out.
Please post your sources.list . . . all of it.
