Hi All, as you know, there was a glitch in amprolla this morning, and by mistake ascii got merged on Debian Buster, the new Debian testing branch. This means that the users who apt-get updated/upgraded (or used aptitute update/upgrade) in the last 24 hours might have gotten some packages from what is effectively Devuan unstable.
Please notice that only users using Devuan Ascii could be affected by the glitch, and only those who upgraded their system in the last 24 hours. Devuan Jessie and Devuan Ceres are fine. The issue has now been resolved, mostly thanks to the prompt action of Centurion Dan and Nextime, and to the new version of amprolla coded by parazyd and Wizzup, which is able to produce a new merged tree in much less time than the current production system. We apologise for any inconvenience caused, but as said by jaromil, this is the first time that we witness a Debian switch from testing to stable on our merged repos. We have learned a lot from this incident, and we thank you all for your patience. For those whose Ascii system was erroneously upgraded with packages from the new Debian testing, please keep reading since it is possible to downgrade your system to use actual ascii packages. The trick consists into introducing a temporary pin of ascii to 1001, then apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade, and then remove the pin. In other words: 1) create the file /etc/apt/preferences/ascii-pin containing the following three lines: Package: * Pin: release n=ascii Pin-Priority: 1001 2) # apt-get update 3) # apt-get dist-upgrade (this should remove all the newly upgraded packages) 4) remove /etc/apt/preferences/ascii-pin If you still experience issues, please get in touch via IRC on #devuan or #devuan-dev (freenet).
