I'm embarrassed that I never noticed the Reload button.

You will want to update synaptic every time you want to browse or install etc. so it can find the newest packages.

just for reference :
"Reload" button in synaptic, does the same thing (`apt update`). so, whenever you open synaptic, it's best to do that first.
synaptic menu also has an option to pick version : mark package, then 'Package' -> 'force version'. (same as `apt install -t release package`)

Thanks for the assistance.

@golinux I assumed that sources.list would be read by Synaptic. I was wrong.

You will want to update synaptic every time you want to browse or install etc. so it can find the newest packages.   You also need to do that in a terminal.

@rolfie So that's the way to specify a repository when installing. And backports makes sense now in the context of packages existing in testing, but not stable.

The -t is only needed because backports has some kind of magic pinning so everything from there doesn't get installed.  I comment backports in my sources list and only uncomment when I want to install something specific.

apt update
apt -t ascii-backports install mate-applet-brisk-menu

It may be worth to read: https://wiki.debian.org/Backports

I edited sources.list to the following:

#

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii main non-free contrib
deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii main non-free contrib

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii-security main non-free contrib
deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii-security main non-free contrib

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii-updates main non-free contrib
deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii-updates main non-free contrib

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii-backports main non-free contrib
deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii-backports main non-free contrib

However, nothing changed. Did I get sources.list wrong?

I built a 2.0 system (because 2.1 does not offer my wireless drivers) and executed the following commands in a terminal

sudo apt clean
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt dist-upgrade

but there were no upgrades to be had. Synaptic does not offer mate-applet-brisk-menu and "sudo apt install mate-applet-brisk-menu" is equally unsuccessful. Is there a better way to upgrade?

It is not available via Synaptic. I could obtain the Ubuntu deb-file from

and then perhaps (!) install mate-applet-brisk-menu_0.6.0-1_amd64.deb, but that might cause trouble when Devuan adds it the official way. Is Brisk menu going to be added to Devuan packages any time soon?
