Sorry Head_on_a_Stick you are totally right, my mistake. Now the tapping works perfectly.

No you didn't. That guide advises to create a new file at /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf with the suggested content. But you need to run the commands as root for them to work.

Or with sudo:

sudo mkdir -p /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
sudo tee /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf <

You've added your configuration to the pointer section rather than the touchpad section, which is why it doesn't work. And using /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf means your changes will be over-written if the xserver-xorg-input-libinput package is upgraded.

In Devuan ASCII there is already a 40-libinput.conf file:
~$ cat  /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf
# Match on all types of devices but tablet devices and joysticks
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput pointer catchall"
        MatchIsPointer "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
	Option "Tapping" "True"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput keyboard catchall"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput touchscreen catchall"
        MatchIsTouchscreen "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput tablet catchall"
        MatchIsTablet "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection
and seems that the tapping option is active. However I tried to change Option "Tapping" "True" to Option "Tapping" "on" but it still doesn't work. Any suggest?
