How are you trying to install them, and what result or error messages are you getting?

apt update
apt install wakeonlan etherwake

Hi all

I can't seem to install either of these packages to use WOL to remotely wake a Devuan box from another Devuan box.

Both machines running a Ascii stable amd64

with repos in /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ ascii main non-free contrib
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ ascii-updates non-free main contrib
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ ascii-backports non-free main contrib
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ ascii-security main contrib non-free

Is there something I need to know to get these packages or is there another way to WOL remote machines with Devuan?

thanks in advance!
