I've been looking at replacing my CentOS 6 with Devuan so I installed
the beta in a VM. No problems.
# uname -a
Linux devuan 3.16.0.4-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-2 (2016-04-08)

I use backuppc to back up my network but it says there is a broken
package. Turns out it is samba.

# apt-get install samba

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 samba : Depends: samba-common (=2:4.2.10+dfsg-0+deb8u2) but it is not
 going to be installed
         Depends: samba-common-bin (=2:4.2.10+dfsg-0+deb8u2) but it is
 not going to be installed
         Recommends: attr but it is not going to be installed
         Recommends: samba-vfs-modules but it is not going to be
 installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


I ran into the same issue and downloaded samba-common from debian-jessie:
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/all/samba-common/download
then installed it with dpkg -i <package> and then continue with apt-get install samba

Devuan has and older version of this package, and it blocks the installation.
