aah I see. apt shows firmware-linux-nonfree was manually installed, I don't recall ever installing it, in fact I thought I had successfully avoided installing anything nonfree in devuan on this machine. So I thought it must be a dependency itself, but aptitude why shows no dependencies. > > > > How about "apt-cache policy firmware-misc-nonfree" > > > > firmware-misc-nonfree: > > Installed: 20161130-3 > > Candidate: 20161130-3 > > Version table: > > *** 20161130-3 100 > > 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status > > Okay, so you certainly have the latest installed. > > > > or "aptitude reinstall firmware-misc-nonfree"? > > > > oddly aptitude says it can't find a source for the package that I > > have > > installed.

If the simplest answer is just that I must have installed them myself, I can accept that, but I don't think they're there by default, and according to this excersize seem to require me to enable the non-free repository... > > On Thursday 09 January 2020 at 21:24:51, Svante Signell via Dng > wrote: > > > Did you add non-free to your sources.list? > > deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf main non-free > > Regards, > > > Antony. > _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
