slightly OT, but this and other threads questioning strange situations
occurring post-install make me think of a new "project" for Devuan:
that of having an automated set of tests running on a docker (or
packer) instance that does an automatic dist-upgrade and runs a list
of checks we may draft for them.

this would help us having a more deterministic answer to these
situations, somehow similar also to the wine32 problem on another
thread. the only way for us to really isolate a bug is to run the
procedure on a pristine system and, while I also upgraded to Beowulf
without problems, I cannot vouch for my system to be definable as
"pristine"...

ciao
