stargate-sg1-cheyenne-mtn  thank you for your reply. 

I did run the script before I posted. 

Now when I look in computer  etc/apt/  ??  There is not a folder called gat. 

Now I presume that gat was installed during an update..  or maybe your command was different.  I did not look.  But whatever

It was my understanding that snapd was different than all the snap commands that was meant to install/un-install Apps.  That snapd was part of the part of the basic structure of Debian.   Shows what little I know.   

now onto my next dilemma.   When I try to download a folder  that resided in git.  Opens a long list terminal commands, where only a few are to be entered at a time. The copy does not so easily work??

I would have rather downloaded whole file, and hooked into a single command and running it.  Gotta read more.  If I don't solve it.  I will be back to annoy more.

I have contacted Mike Bannon on several occasions.  He is quite nice.  I am mystified why he did not just leave a completed image for coreboot for each of the three types of processors.  Leaving me to just connect up the wires.

I only need to use a few commands to finish building a the coreboot image. 

The specific point in the documentation.

NOTE : please remove gcc-ada / gnat from your OS if it is there, because it may cause the Ada-related build problems and our AMD platforms do not need any Ada code.

I can CD  etc/apt  and delete the folder gnat, but I do not know if it solves the issue.  There is a gnat folder there.

The package manager does not show gnat, because the package manager is not for snapd. 

To reliably remove a snapd command system from devuan, I would not expect to be documented, to the point I can be sure it is not interfering with building the Coreboot image. 

Doing man, whether based upon Debian or Devuan is not reliably a way to do a hybrid un-install,

Somehow, I felt this would be an easy problem for those familiar with Devuan could produce a bit of help. 

So most likely,  you guys don't know the answer off the top of your head, but think I need to spend several months studying CLI of probably Debian.   A study of a hybrid problem between Devuan and Debian snapd still being a matter of a lot of testing.

I did not feel it was an unreasonable request.

I don't have much experience/knowledge set-  of Linux Commands.

I am trying to build a Core Boot Image to install (hardware flash ROM)  onto G505S  AMD A10 as described on

http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Len … 5S_hacking

and each stage brings up Linux commands,  I do not know about.  Or where to use them in the file structure.

Stuck  Now at

" NOTE : please remove gcc-ada / gnat from your OS if it is there, because it may cause the Ada-related build problems and our AMD platforms do not need any Ada code." 

Synaptic Package Manager does not who this to be present.
When I do a search in the file structure, there are a lot of files/folders with gcc on them. 

After this, I am to get a large file from  github, that does not seem to download, but opes to list many commands, which are problematic to paste into the Terminal.  That is, too many commands to paste at one time.  (??) and last I tried, gave a list of errors.
which I guess means I needed to remove gcc-ada / gnat.  (??)

Thanks for reading this, and perhaps helping.

Merry Holidays, and have a good Thanksgiving.
