I need advice on MQTT

I just put Devuan on another computer in the home. This one handles openhab, zoneminder and some file storage. Well everything installed fine except mosquitto.
Its a very small package for handling MQTT messages. I suspect something with sysvinit, It does not produce any logs in its own log file or syslog.

Its real easy to install, if one of the rockstars on here could check. apt install mosquitto

Its kind of a deal breaker as I dont think there is a alternative.
When I type: service mosquitto start  ,it says started
then status says its not started.
