I stopped using sudo years ago when I dumped Ubuntu but I remember the % always puzzled me so you are not alone.  Very happy to hear you worked things out.  Currently I am in the middle of my own quagmire so can sympathize.

Cela dépend de ce que Ubuntu a fait pour ce paquet. La règle générale est de ne pas mélanger les paquets Ubuntu sur Devuan. Je n'ai pas connaissance de ces paquets mais si Bionic veut installer systemd, je suppose que vous comprendrez cela.

There hasn't been much work done yet on beowulf.  Please file a bug report.

gksu should launch synaptic.  It works for me from a panel launcher.

Those packages are available in all Devuan releases.

This error may be from a misconfigured sources.list.    Please check that it aligns with the options recommended here:

@campus . . . Just a thought . . . if you leave your notes here, other devs could be directed here if necessary rather than fsmithred having to do that manually.

#2410 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » VLC and Kaffeine won't install on Ascii [SOLVED] » 2018-08-19 05:02:03

Your sources are outdated.  I posted a link above that should have clued you in about that.   packages.devuan.org (that served jessie) uses the old amprolla but is now deprecated and will be decommissioned when jessie reaches EOL.   deb.devuan.org, a round-robin of package mirrors, pulls from pkgmaster.devuan.org which is built with the new amprolla3 and has many additional features.

Please refer to the ASCII Release Notes for further clarification.

There's much more that needs attending than the certificate.  I got sent to at least one 404.

#2412 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Astian OS » 2018-08-18 20:02:10

I couldn't be bothered to find and list all the weirdness/non-functionality.  The site has been this way for months so the Astian community must think it's OK as is.

#2413 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] apt-file search not working » 2018-08-18 20:00:21

If there is not already a bug report please submit one at bugs.devuan.org

#2414 Re: Installation » Installation without Session management and policykit backends » 2018-08-18 15:09:24

Congrats!  I knew you could eventually get this worked out.

Who is capable, wants and can, signals to the developers of Devuan the impossibility for how the libpolkit-gobject-1-0 package is built, to use XFCE4 without installing consolekit/elogind. It is against the software freedom principle: we must not force anyone to use unwanted software! I hope they take this into account and that the next release (beowulf) no longer presents the problem!

Why don't you plead your case to the developers directly by submitting your comments/solution to bugs.devuan.org.  Or better yet, explore how you yourself could provide a package(s) that would allow for the removal of these components.   We're all in this together so we welcome more hands on deck.

can a Devuan patch be applied to the Jessie repos to fix this, from a diff between Dev1 Jessie & Dev1 Ascii then?

I'm guessing that if you use deb.devuan.org in your sources.list instead of auto.mirror.devuan.org, that issue may be resolved.  The auto.mirror default shipped on the jessie isos is now deprecated.  But then it's late and I'm really tired . . .

I wish you'd fix your website.  It's quite broken and doesn't inspire confidence . . .

I was under the impression that Mint was pro systemd or at least switched to it because of Debian/Ubuntu.

LMDE is related to Ubuntu but much closer to Debian.

Thanks for posting the fix.  Seems no one on this forum has played with CUDA.

So this issue is solved. How do I set the topic to say that?

#2421 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Linux Mint Devuan Edition? » 2018-08-17 15:33:44

I had some contact with the LMDE dev earlier this year regarding a Devuan version with a promise that he'd get back to me but he never did.

#2424 Re: Other Issues » How can i get rar in devuan? [solved] » 2018-08-13 23:26:31

For the third time . . . there can be issues with pkgmaster.  Use deb.devuan.org instead.

#2425 Re: Other Issues » How can i get rar in devuan? [solved] » 2018-08-13 15:03:04

pkgmaster works but deb.devuan.org is now recommended/default
