I'm sorry to report that I tried a dist-upgrade from devuan beowulf

AFAIK, that isn't the way you are supposed to do it.
Under beowulf; I did
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
reboot
Hmmm. I edited /etc/apt/sources.lst to use chimaera debs first, under
beowulf, then did the above sequence.
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to change beowulf to chimaera
I actually copy and date the deb lines and edit version to chimaera and
comment out the beowulf lines so there is a history record.
Them with chimaera in the /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
reboot and repeat;
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
rebbot.
Well, it can't hurt to try another update/upgrade cycle; I had a konsole
open during the last reboot and it was restored, so I can do
command-line things (and what else could I possibly need :-) If that
doesn't fix things up then it's nuke-and-repave time.
