Issues with Broken Packages and Updating

I am testing out Devuan 2.1 ASCII on a virtual machine.
I installed it from the Installer ISO via Expert Install with full disk encryption.
I did NOT install any non-free software and I installed OepnRC as my init software.

Upon my first bootup, I tried to update the OS through the terminal but got this error message (at the very bottom of the code down here).

johndoe@devuan:~$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

In case you're wondering, I got my ISO image from this mirror.
https://mirror.leaseweb.com/devuan/

I tried installing some apps but I got an error message in the Synpatic Package Manager saying "Could not apply changes! Fix broken packages first.".

So I tried to fix the broken package in question, which was firejail-profiles, but then I got another error...

An error occurred.
The followin details are provided:
E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

Re: Issues with Broken Packages and Updating

Disable the cdrom repository and enable the following repos:

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii          main
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii-updates  main
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii-security main

You can either do it in Synaptic or manually edit /etc/apt/sources.list. Then update/refresh the package cache.
