Freia - repository disorder

I'm trying Freia and

First:

I'm not able to install virt-manager, qemu, libvirt, guestfs etc

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libguestfs-tools : Depends: libguestfs0t64 (= 1:1.60.1-2) but it is not going to be installed
                    Depends: guestfs-tools but it is not going to be installed
                    Depends: guestmount but it is not going to be installed
                    Depends: guestfish but it is not going to be installed
 libosinfo-bin : Depends: libosinfo-1.0-0 (>= 1.10.0~) but it is not going to be installed
 libvirt-clients : Depends: libvirt-common (= 12.4.0-1devuan1) but it is not going to be installed
                   Depends: libvirt0 (= 12.4.0-1devuan1) but it is not going to be installed
 libvirt-daemon-system : Depends: libvirt-common (= 12.4.0-1devuan1) but it is not going to be installed
#... etc

qemu-utils : Depends: liburing2 (>= 2.3) but it is not going to be installed
              Recommends: qemu-block-extra (= 1:11.1.1+ds-1) but it is not going to be installed
 virt-manager : Depends: gir1.2-gtk-3.0 (>= 3.10) but it is not going to be installed
                Depends: gir1.2-gtk-vnc-2.0 but it is not going to be installed
#...etc

python3-libvirt: requires libvirt0 >= 12.5.0 but libvirt0 available in repo seems to be 12.4.0-1devuan1 etc

Full mess of package versions.

Second:

Firejail & Ko are not in the repo at all. Why? Are they banned?

Re: Freia - repository disorder

freia is testing - this happens from time to time.
If you have time: Easiest solution is to just wait. The problem will disappear.

firejail is currently in ceres and excalibur. Don't know, which version fits better.

Yes, there are gaps in the applications. Except for the forked ones, what isn't availablein Forky can't be available in Freia.

freia is testing - this happens from ti … ts better.

I did not experienced such kind of problems with Excalibur (while testing) and was surprised. I had to believe that Devuan's repo is a mirror of Debian's repo with some mods. They don't have such problems usually and there are many distributions based on testing.

Firejail from Ceres is OK. I thank it was intentionally removed.

It very much depends on when you start with testing and how close they are to the release.

Wrong, Debian is the originator of most hickups. Read their bug reports. It happens very often that packages are dropped from testing due to whatever reason, and bug fixes first of all can be found in sid before they are released to testing.

BTW: you can easily tell if the package is modified or original Debian. Examples from my Excalibur:
linux-image-6.12.111+deb13-amd64 (6.12.111-1) => Debian package
xserver-xorg-legacy (2:21.1.16-1.3+deb13u3devuan1 => 2:21.1.16-1.3+deb13u4devuan1) => package modifed by Devuan

Banned packages see list of banned packages. There are also generic packages.
