thanks!
erdos@htpc-devuan:~$ for i in /var/lib/dkms/*/[^k]*/source; do [ -e "$i" ] || echo "$i";done
/var/lib/dkms/*/[^k]*/source

removed 'nvidia' directory, and reinstalled header/kernel for 5.10, ok
rm -r /var/lib/dkms/nvidia

dpkg --configure -a && sync
apt purge linux-headers-5.10.0-9-amd64 linux-headers-amd64

apt-get dist-upgrade
apt install linux-headers-5.10.0-9-amd64 linux-headers-amd64
apt install linux-image-5.10.0-9-amd64

I updated /etc/apt/sources.list to include 'no-free' and update repository list:
however, it seems that i could no longer install nvidia driver for my graphics card (GeForce 9300 GE), i.e. nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver

erdos@htpc-devuan:~$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver

Package nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver' has no installation candidate

this driver is no longer available in chimaera

A simple Google search gave this result:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/227258/ … -conf-file

I think there is no dependency hell, rather some missing or conflicting modules or conf files that needs to be sorted. It is achievable.

i was able to run above commands, removed /usr/share/doc/linux-headers-amd64, /lib/modules/5.10.0-9-amd64 doesn't exist though. 'dpkg' runs ok too after modify path.

but trying to reinstall 5.10 kernel/headers still results the same error - complaining it couldn't find dkms.conf

i purged all 'nvidia' in the system, and tried again, still no success.
# apt-get remove --purge '^nvidia-.*'
It seems that repository is messed up now, i couldn't find any 'nvidia' driver include 'nvidia-persistenced', using synaptics display ed 'xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-340xx' but shows:
"
Package xserver-xorg-video-nvidia-legacy-340xx has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list"

i believe i installed zoom and google-earth through .deb package. is this a concern for continuing upgrade to chimaera?

I assume you're using amd64 (64-bit intels or amd processor). Make sure Google repositories look like this in /etc/apt/sources.list or inside /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ :

deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/earth/deb/ stable main
deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

Add missing GPG key as root:
sudo -i
Then,
wget -q -O - https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add -
apt update && apt upgrade

Remove all the 5.x kernels and kernel headers and retry.

I poke around for the 'missing' dkms.conf file, it's there but in a different directory than devuan expected.

erdos@htpc-devuan:~$ ls -l /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/340.108/
total 4

What you do need is Guile, dkms, linux-headers and linux-headers-common to suit your kernel version, linux-image-5.10.0-9-amd64 (5.10.70-1) installed to get your nvidia drivers/modules installed and running.
thanks for the reply!
I try to install 'Guile-3.0', but it seems to indicating that linux-image-5.10.0-9-amd64 isn't properly installed/configured. i can boot into 4.19 kernel for now but 'apt-get dist-upgrade' results the same error. trying to remove 'nvidia-persistenced' package also results the same error.

Try as root or sudo:
apt install -f
and dpkg --configure -a
and if the problem is not resolved, try removing the kernel packages and install nvidia dependencies and later install kernel.

Re: [SOLVED] Apt-get update error during Chimaera upgrade

linux-image-amd64 is a "Task" package, enables updates for your amd64 kernel.

What you do need is Guile, dkms, linux-headers and linux-headers-common to suit your kernel version, linux-image-5.10.0-9-amd64 (5.10.70-1) installed to get your nvidia drivers/modules installed and running.

I have proprietary nvidia driver installed before upgrade.

any idea how to proceed?
