looks like it is/was at their end as per this thread:

and specifically this post:

My repo and key setup is correct. Librewolf has somehow messed up their repo setup.
I removed arm64 from the Architecures section, but apt search is still showing only the arm64 version. I decided to ignore this and checked whether I could install librewolf via synaptic - nope, the arm64 version shown by synaptic is really the wrong architecture. Then I tried apt install librewolf - which worked. With the correct amd64 version. Synaptic now shows both versions, one unnamed version installed and the arm84 version as uninstalled.
Thanks @sunrat for their help that enabled me to circumvent the upstream repo mess. I should really report this to upstream but that would require me to create another account somewhere ... if anybody else stumbles over this error they'll find the solution here.
edited to add: This worked for me. Thanks to @rrq and all!

@rrq, more referencing librewolf, also just found this:

@rrq, reference your steps in reply number 22 and i have done all steps except "apt-get install librewolf"
now when do a package search for "librewolf" using synaptic it shows "librewolf:arm64" and also shows "Conflicts:librewolf" in the dependency/conflicts tab of the Properties subsection
version: daedalus
posting here in case others in the present/future see the same thing.
please advise. thanks!

as of this post/date/time, the pclinuxos website only seems to resolve to a new/blank/wtf wordpress webpage. nothing lasts forever. as always, your mileage may vary.

regardless of what you do, when you do it, and/or how you do it.
do a fresh and complete backup and if it is at all important, have a backup backup.
it isn't a question of IF, it is a question of WHEN you will have some kind of problem(failure/fire/flood/theft/tornado/etc).
as always, ymmv.

the installation area of the readme seems particularly pertinent:
https://github.com/pftf/RPi3/blob/master/Readme.md#installation
Create an SD card (or USB drive if you plan to use USB Boot) in MBR mode with a single partition of type 0x0c (FAT32 LBA) or 0x0e (FAT16 LBA). Then format this partition to FAT32.
Note: Do not try to use GPT for the partition scheme or 0xef (EFI System Partition) for the type, as these are unsupported by the CPU-embedded bootloader.

is this the same install as what you were referring to in this previous post?

This explains why I was unsuccessful in converting Trixie to Excalibur by eliminating systemd (the process was challenging as well).

hat-tip to @fanderal for referencing:
https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/xlibre.html
always enjoy dedoimedo and "turdling" was a big rotflmao. priceless.
snippet:
I do not hate Wayland. I have no personal beef with it. I don't really care. I'm not a developer. I am not bothered by software. It's a means to an end.
What I don't like is ANY, I repeat ANY software solution that champions mediocrity.
For example, Skype 8 over Skype 7. Microsoft removed the sane desktop-oriented Skype 7, which let you do multiple chat windows at the same time, and replaced it with a pseudo-touch "modern" turdling that could not do this thing, and many other things. New solution, inferior to old solution. Missing functionality. The end user suffers. Simple.
indeed...sigh.

think i have some thinkstation S20 workstations that i believe are pre-uefi if you would be interested in good serviceable free stuff.
naturally there would be some S&H unless you're close enough for a pickup/delivery/meet-in-the-middle-exchange. what is your zip?

#195 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » ddr3 sdram upgrade » 2025-02-24 07:23:06
OP doesn't state current amount of ram, nor type/performance of main/boot HDD/SDD
is OP having a specific issue or just desire to update/upgrade machine?
what about watching for a newer/better used machine to become available at the right price?

5. Remember, this is a meeting place every that shares a love of Devuan, and Linux (without systemd). So please play nice.
perhaps this has error/miskey/omission around "this is a meeting place every that shares" area? <grinning-emoji-polishing-spoon>
