hey, running unstable you can come across situations like this, many times. personally i use safer `apt upgrade ` in ceres/unstable. mainly, cause i need the system running :)
as for this current situation, i don't have such an issue with ceres. can you paste someplace, a list of upgrades? (`apt list --upgradable`) you could try updateing from another mirror as well, maybe sync delays can trigger such issues. sources.list, mixed w/testing : deb http://xx.deb.devuan.org/merged/ testing main non-free contrib deb http://xx.deb.devuan.org/merged/ testing-security main non-free contrib deb http://xx.deb.devuan.org/merged/ testing-updates main non-free contrib deb http://xx.deb.devuan.org/merged/ ceres main non-free contrib d.
