SOLVED

what was needed:
- Remove dbus and libdbus1-3 
- Install libdbus1-3 and then dbus

Incredible that something seemingly so easy kept me occupied for so long. Thank you everyone for all support! <3

I have tried to reinstall chimaera a few times on this vps.
I already tried .iso installation but it didn't work (don't remember the exact problem rn).
The rsync option I haven't yet tried, tho I need to make some research which steps are needed.

When I do lsb_release -a

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Devuan
Description:	Devuan GNU/Linux 4 (chimaera)
Release:	4
Codename:	chimaera

is the desktop installation necessarily to complete the installation even though it is for a vps?

The keyring was indeed overlooked and is installed now. I went through all the steps though it continues to output missing dependencies on the last step.

I am currently trying to migrate from bullseye to chimaera following the steps in link shared. everything goes well until `apt-get install task-xfce-desktop` when I get:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xfconf : Depends: default-dbus-session-bus or
                   dbus-session-bus
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

If I instead try to install gnome desktop, I get:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

I do:

apt --fix-broken install

nothing is done.

Note: dbus is installed, but this doesn't suffice it seems.

You are brilliant, what a great idea with migration! Will try this now. Thank you so much for supporting me with this. It made my day <3

I'm am trying to install devuan on a vps which has debian bullseye currently. I am not well versed in ansible and don't know how I can run the .iso file directly from the vps to start the setup. If anyone could share how to do that or point to resources it would be an incredible support for me trying to learn these things.

I just followed the guide and chose the LVM full disk encryption. Now it works until the end, but when rebooting it several times reject my password when I'm fairly sure it was not incorrect, then it works and it's like having a computer from the 90ies. It takes ten minutes to get from the username to the password box and then another ten to get in to the computer. when I restarted I could type the encryption password and then the screen went black and nothing more happened. I don't really know what I'm doing wrong.

Thank you very much for the support. I will make sure to check everything again and note down errors to be more specific henceforth.

I'm trying to install devuan with complete disk encryption on a Lenovo T14 Gen4. When booting I see 'cannot find tag 0x0' or something like that but then it works until software installation at the end where it freezes, many times at 71%, but it's not always like that. I tried to install Chimaera as this is running on another computer and that also froze at 26% when installing software.  If anyone have the time to help me out I'd really appreciate it. I've been trying to research the issue, and testing different bios setup, but I don't know it very well and it would be better to hear from someone with knowledge and experience than trying to guess.
