Read https://www.devuan.org/os/packages.

apt -t beowulf-backports install package

Thank you very much! smile

I added:

deb     http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-backports main
deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-backports main

to sources.list, and then 'sudo apt update'.

That's not how backports should be used.  If you upgrade everything in backports it could fubar your system.  Only use backports for specific packages that are needed.  For example, if you get a new video card and need newer firmware.

Thank you. How do I install backports of specific packages?
