If you want nodejs you should install from the nodesource apt repository to get the latest updates. https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/blob/master/README.md Unfortunately those instructions rely on lsb_release providing the correct output. There is a bug with lsb-release in ascii where it relies on parsing sources.list for detection. If “lsb_release -sc” returns “ascii” then you’re all fine but if it returns “testing” then you’ll just have to add the repo with the manual instructions. The devuan releases are aliased in the installer script to the Debian releases so you should just use stretch in your sources list. —Tom
