Re: Packages that do not appear in the Synaptic package manager

@atlante I would go with what fsmithred said try. And if you get an error you can also try:

deb http://gnlug.org/pub/devuan/merged/ excalibur main non-free-firmware non-free contrib  
deb http://gnlug.org/pub/devuan/merged/ excalibur-updates main non-free-firmware non-free contrib 
deb http://gnlug.org/pub/devuan/merged/ excalibur-security main non-free-firmware non-free contrib 

That deb822 crap is for the birds. More useless flailing about, much like usrmerge.

Re: Packages that do not appear in the Synaptic package manager

Okay. What I'll do is a clean reinstall to avoid any remaining repository configuration errors, and then I'll edit the `/etc/apt/sources.list` file with nano, following Fsmithred's recommendations.

I'll let you know how it goes.
