When I go to https://pkginfo.devuan.org/ using firefox 82.0 I get:
Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead
Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to pkginfo.devuan.org. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.
What can you do about it?
The issue is most likely with the website, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the website’s administrator about the problem.

The same thing happens when I link there from https://www.devuan.org/os/explore at the Search Package Information line.
#28 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Average Uptime of Your Devuan Systems? » 2020-09-12 20:42:42
I have small single board system, UDOO X86, which I use as a backup server for my notebook. It is currently running Devuan Beowulf, I only reboot it for kernel upgrades, or failures in the backup software, Duplicati. It has often run for months. It has been up for 30 days today. It does not have a proper enclosure, but the dust has not caused any problems for a couple of years now.
#29 Desktop and Multimedia » dist-upgrade on ceres still wants to remove wicd » 2020-08-11 21:09:05

- Replies: 6
I know that dist-upgrade has to be run cautiously on ceres, but this issue has been around for a while now. There are a lot of packages related to python2 that need to be removed now that python2 is being deprecated, but ceres keeps insisting that the wicd packages and rfkill have to go as well. That cannot be right, and it does not happen on debian sid. It insists on this even if I do not include the --autoremove option.
I looked at the devuan website for some way to submit bug reports for devuan modified packages, but I could not find anything. I am, therefore, posting this message here.
During my searches I ran across a page for debian developers for modifying packages dependencies for the python2 removal.

Once again, the Release files, etc, on deb.devuan.org/merged... have not been updated since 07/18/2020. In thought the problem with dyne.org was resolved last year. Is this something new?
#31 Re: Other Issues » Ceres upgrade wants to remove fdisk » 2020-05-28 20:19:09
OK. I ran apt-get install fdisk and part of the actions said that fdisk was set to manual install. If I understand now, fdisk was only installed as a dependency of some other packages, and those were either removed or removed fdisk from their dependencies. I thought fdisk was one of the basic installed utilities, but I guess it is not.
Thank you.
#32 Re: Other Issues » Ceres upgrade wants to remove fdisk » 2020-05-28 19:56:33
No luck. I checked fdisk dependency requirements, and all the packages were installed and with version requirements met. I looked through the pre-depends and I could not see any in the list of yesterday's upgrades. Curious. Of course, I could have missed something, but I don't think so.

I ran my usual apt-get update and apt-get upgrade --autoremove on a ceres installation in a qemu-kvm vm today. All went well, but when I reran the apt-get upgrade --autoremove, as I usually do, it was going to remove fdisk. That just does not seem right. I said no for now.
#34 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Star 2.1.0 - Distrowatch review » 2020-04-28 21:06:20
Am I reading the review right?
It seems as if Star is not really so much a different distro, but rather an alternate installer for Devuan that has been stripped down to a minimal starting system. Once installation is complete the system is Devuan, and anything from the Devuan repository can be added. Am I missing something?

For future reference, if you need to, just contact one of the moderators.
This sounds like good advice, but I do not know who are the moderators. Is there a list somewhere I have missed?

I started a discussion by posting a question back in 5/19. The discussion in still going, and although it has wandered quite a bit, I have enjoyed reading the replies up until now. Things have taken a bad turn, and now it is the usual pro and con systemd blather that I can read at a hundred other places.
As the originator of the discussion do I have any ability to close it or move it to Off-Topic? I cannot find any such controls on the page.
#38 Re: News & Announcements » Migrating from Buster to Beowulf - feedback needed » 2020-02-05 07:03:58
Congratulations Dan,
It looks to me like you did a good job. I hope it all works for you. Just a note:
"Also the "beowulf-security" doesn't yet exist (because it's "testing"?) so I commented it out from sources.list. Once the keyring was installed, I removed the "[trusted=yes]" from sources.list."
Actually, if you check http://deb.devuan.org/merged/dists/, beowulf-security, beowulf-updates, beowulf-backports, and beowulf-proposed-updates all exist now.
Michael

#42 Devuan » Debian considering going systemd init only » 2019-09-23 05:01:50

I saw an article in slashdot.org today:
https://linux.slashdot.org/story/19/09/ … -diversity
It sounded like the project director was politely asking the different development teams to work together like grown ups.
If Debian should go systemd init only, will the Devuan development team be able to handle the added work of providing a systemd-free OS still based on Debian? It sounds like it would be a lot more work.

The package repository at http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/ has not been updated since 7/30/19. Therefore, no security upgrades are available - again.
I have been looking at the amprolla3 software to try and understand what is causing this recurrent problem. Since the missing files in the amprolla.txt file always seem to start with a Contents file, is it possible that the amprolla_merge_contents.py program needs to be run more often than the developers intended?
/nag
Although I am not running any public servers with devuan, those who are running public servers do need to have timely security upgrades available for the safety of their servers. I do not think this is a trivial problem.

#44 Re: Other Issues » Ceres will not update » 2019-07-28 18:37:27
Hmmmm .... curious.
When I was having problems getting ceres to update, because of the system clock issue, I typed "apt-cache search ntp". It came back with nothing. Now the search comes back with a lot of things, including ntp. Perhaps the aborted update messed up the available package listing.
As an aside, I don't actually need ntp for the virtual machine. I just forgot to click the box in the machine settings for how to handle the hardware clock from the host. This had not been causing any problems with updating until a few days ago.
#45 Re: Other Issues » Ceres will not update » 2019-07-28 07:42:20
Okay...sorry.
I figured out what you meant. It was the system time on the virtual machine. It was way off. I fixed it and everything worked fine again.
There are NO ntp utilities in ceres!
#46 Re: Other Issues » Ceres will not update » 2019-07-28 06:27:51
I'm not quite sure what you mean. If you mean my laptop, then the time is right on. If you mean the server's system time, I don't know how to do that.

For several days now, when I try to run apt-get update on my ceres virtual machine I keep getting messages like this:
Get:1 http://deb.devuan.org/merged ceres InRelease [25.6 kB]
Reading package lists... Done
E: Release file for http://deb.devuan.org/merged/dists/ceres/InRelease is not valid yet (invalid for another 4h 19min 45s). Updates for this repository will not be applied.
The length of time the InRelease file is still invalid varies among my different attempts, but the result is the same.
I was originally using unstable in my sources.list file when this started. I tried changing it back to ceres, but, as your can see, it had no effect.
#48 Re: Other Issues » InRelease, Release, and Release.gpg files need updating » 2019-07-08 07:39:10

On the issue from 6/14, all that I could find were a lot of error 404 on the debian website. It as as if it was not online. Then it ended with :
2019/06/14 15:02:31 [ERR] ("Connection broken: ConnectionResetError(104, 'Connection reset by peer')", ConnectionResetError(104, 'Connection reset by peer'))
It seems that the internet connection to the devuan server was terminated.
On the issue from 6/17, the same massive 404 messages from debian, but no internet disconnection message.
That's all I can see from that. Does that make any sense to anyone?
