Plasma-discover don't work out of the box

Good afternoon,

On Devuan Excalibur, Discover (KDE's gui front-end for apt) don't work, showing a message that says that there is no internet connection.

This problem has been seen by some people since a sometime (see https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5892 or https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=7782 or https://www.reddit.com/r/devuan/comment … tl=es-419)

Why this happens and how it can be corrected upstream by Devuan creators?

Sorry as english is not my first language, and I don't know a lot about Linux. Thank you for your patience and time!

"Home" card indeed didn't work here but searching for packages or browsing trought categories did work. Have you tried that?

Next time I test Devuan with Plasma I'll try what you've said, but now I can't as I returned using Devuan with XFCE, on which sound works OOTB. Thanks for the help!

@Elyon

Just tried another time to install Devuan with Plasma.

Only 2 categories of Plasma works, and those are "Applications complements" and "Plasma complements". My system is in spanish so I don't know if translations are accurate.

Thing is, I can't see any .deb on Discover, it displays a message "We haven't found anything" at every category (all apps, accesibility, science and engineering, etc...).
