More info: Instead of upgrade, I individually installed some of the packages that were upgradable, and I added devuan-baseconf. I now have devuan versions of dbus bash-completion and sysvinit-utils. I didn't change samba-libs, libsmbclient and libwbclient0 because I currently have newer versions from stretch security. fsmithred _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
