[SOLVED] Devuan Daedalus apt install problem

Just on my way to install Daedalus on a new machine.

Strange thing is; After an minimal install I'm used to install a bunch of packages I usually use, like:

apt install pack1 pack2 ....

I can use this when installing a single package, but using it in the above way I end up with:

E: Unable to locate package install

Using apt-get instead of apt gives the same result. Did I miss a change in the usage of apt?

I use apt-get & it's working on my Daedelus installs from the live XFCE & from Crowz....

Did you use sudo? Did you update first?

I used the netinstall image. Did do an update (which kinda logically results in no new packages).
I used the root user (I normally don't add users during the install, but afterwards to have the same uids for my users in my network)

Well, THAT was a nice fuckup in my list... I had c&p 2 commands, which resulted in a "install" inside the list. sorry for bothering.
