Hey there

I usually use the net iso installation process but I don't know where I can select openrc as my default init system. Sorry if the question is dumb but I really don't know where it is

edit: Nevermind, didn't realize there was a second page with the solution. Thanks
Just had to

apt install libelogind0=241.1-1

and done, no more held packages.

So I just installed and upgraded to Beowulf. Smooth as silk, only had to comment out a line on pulseaudio which was indicated during the apt dist-upgrade process
Something weird(or maybe it's not) is happening though. When I use apt update, upgrade or install, I get this message

~$ apt list --upgradable 
Listing... Done
elogind/testing 241.1-1 amd64 [upgradable from: 234.4-2]
libelogind0/testing 241.1-1 amd64 [upgradable from: 234.4-2]
libpam-elogind/testing 241.1-1 amd64 [upgradable from: 234.4-2]
# sudo apt upgrade 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
  elogind libelogind0 libpam-elogind
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.

I've tried some commands but those 3 packages are simply being held and nothing seems to make them go away or upgrade them.

Hello everyone, my first post here.
I'm thinking of using Devuan and free myself from systemd. I have a couple questions before I do so:
- Are there any plans to implement runit by default or just as solid an implementation as the current init, in the future? I checked the main web page and it says you guys use SysV but have also openrc and runit on development.

- While I doubt Debian repositories work as intended on Devuan, let's say I want to install Lutris. The most common way to do that under Debian is to add a repo and then update and install. Could I add that Debian repo on Devuan? Or should I just build Lutris from source?

Thanks in advance
