Thank you, appreciate the tip!

I had a look at the man page but didn't see a way to correct the error, can anyone help.

Notice you have all 3 releases in your sources.list, unless I'm missing something you should have only one. I am assuming you want chimaera then the beowulf and daedalus should be commented (#). 

I am using this for my sources.list with chimaera.

Haven't always been or saying now that I'm a pulseaudio fan. But, yea lets throw one of those in and say the pulseaudio-equalizer gui is quite a tool. It's damn hellacious! cool

Anyway, an average user rating of 9/10 is pretty damn good and the sample size is big enough to make it fairly significant.

Yes it is, could not agree more. The second DW comment was a representation of extreme frustration, once I read the first caught on quickly with the CFI reference to the below statement.

I got a real good laugh! smile

Found this on DW, Devuan ratings and comments!

Been using Devuan since the release of Jessie beta, absolute ease of install. Rated now as one of the TOP 10 best distributions! Great distro for anyone from the noob to the more seasoned Linux user, that is of course you are like a CFI like the post below.

Pros: Systemd free, large team of VUA's behind the creation and maintaining of Devuan. Xfce as their flagship DE.

Cons: Nothing worth noting and a personal observation and nothing to do with servicablity.

If you can't tie your shoe or feed yourself then maybe not right for you!

I have been playing with Devuan for for weeks.

Cannot get guest services to work in Vbox.

Getting it installed onto a hdd in a simple fashion? NFW!

I play around with over a dozen distros and Devuan is by far the most pain in the rear of them all.

Devuan is not even close to being public!

Keep trying, I do like the idea, but what a freaking mess!

What a mess!

Anyone shed some light on what a "CFI" is? Have an idea and suppose it would not be proper to post that!

Just wanted to share views that of the contented and that of the disgruntled! A post like that clearly states just how limited a person is and afraid to ask for help! Sad!

Stay well and safe
