Hello:
Can't find refracta2usb in the Beowulf repository.
I recall the same thing happening when I wanted to install it in ascii but cannot recall how that got solved.
Also ...
On installing refractasnapshot-gui I got these warnings:
---
Setting up live-tools (1:20171207) ...
update-rc.d: warning: start and stop actions are no longer supported; falling back to defaults
update-rc.d: warning: start runlevel arguments (none) do not match live-tools Default-Start values (S)
Setting up uuid-runtime (2.33.1-0.1+devuan1~beowulf2) ...
Adding group `uuidd' (GID 118) ...
Done.
Warning: The home dir /run/uuidd you specified can't be accessed: No such file or directory
Adding system user `uuidd' (UID 111) ...
Adding new user `uuidd' (UID 111) with group `uuidd' ...
Not creating home directory `/run/uuidd'.
Warning: The home dir /run/uuidd you specified can't be accessed: No such file or directory
So I checked and found a uuidd group so I added myself to it.
The directory /run/uuidd exists.
/$ locate /run/uuidd
/run/uuidd
/run/uuidd/request
/run/uuidd/uuidd.pid
/$
Is there something I should do about the update-rc.d: warnings?
I also got this:
cryptsetup: WARNING: The initramfs image may not contain cryptsetup binaries
nor crypto modules. If that's on purpose, you may want to uninstall the
'cryptsetup-initramfs' package in order to disable the cryptsetup initramfs
integration and avoid this warning.
Should I uninstall the 'cryptsetup-initramfs' package?
I'm not using encryption (for now) but would need it if I eventually decide to use tomb.
Although not sure it is worth it as it is described as being for fairly strong encryption.
Thanks in advance,
A.

Doesn't look like it's ever been in the repos. You can get it here.

Hello:
... like it's ever been ...
Seems so.
Any idea why?
ie: why Debian does not have it in its repository?
... get it here.
Thanks a lot. 8⁾)
What can you tell me about the warning messages?
ie: update-rc.d and cryptsetup.
Cheers,
A.

Refracta tools have never been in the debian repos, and refracta2usb won't be in the devuan repo until I clean up the code. It's ugly code, but it still works. I dread making any changes to it.
Do yourself a favor and get rid of live-tools. It's not needed. Install without Recommends to avoid it. All it does is divert update-initramfs to a special version for live systems that seems to be completely useless.
Cryptsetup is infinitely more useful. Keep it.

OK.
... ugly code, but it still works.
Indeed ... =^)

I know that feeling too well ...
... get rid of live-tools. It's not needed.

The Beowulf installation I'm working on is a net-install which I expected to be bare-bones by design.
But live-tools seems to have been installed either by the net-install installation process itself or something else.
~$ apt list | grep -i live-tools
live-tools/stable,now 1:20171207 all [installed,automatic] <--- came with what?
~$ su -
I certainly don't recall installing it.
I've removed it as per your suggestion.
Did not drag anything along with it. =^)
Cryptsetup is infinitely more useful.
I'll keep it.
Thanks for your input.

The installer includes Recommends by default. If you wanted to alter that, you could switch to another virtual console with alt-F2 during the install and make a 00norecommends file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ that contains
APT::Install-Recommends "no";
Do that after the package manager is configured but before tasksel starts installing packages.
alt-F1 to get back to the installer.

I see.
Not so 'bare-bones' as I expected a net-install to be.

APT::Install-Recommends "no";

alt-F1 to get back to the installer.
Thanks for the heads-up, good to know.
I'm not doing installations so often, but I'll keep it in mind.
On the other hand, maybe it would be easier to make a list of the Recommends included in the net-install and a script to purge them when the installation is finished and you are logged in as root for the first time.
Followed by a double portion of apt install -f ... 8^D !!!
Just in case.
Thanks for your input.

Devuan is absolutely hackable. We all like this. The hack from fsmithred is a good example. Thank you.
I always use Expert install from net-install. My hack is not configure package manager and use my own scripts on first log in the installed system.
Enjoy your own hack
