imply you migrated from Debian to Devuan.
When you migrated, was there anything that might have prevented your
system from keeping a daemon that processes log messages?

Maybe your Debian setup only had systemd installed, no rsyslog, and
when you migrated, no sys

image-amd64 is a meta package that depends on
the latest versioned linux-image-$version-amd64 package. See
https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/package-query.html?c=package=linux-image-amd64=5.15.15-2~bpo11+1
for what I think is what you have installed. If your APT also pulls the

Checking on my initially jessie installed laptop, subsequently upgraded
to ascii and then beowulf, this setting was added when I upgraded dbus
from 1.10.22-1+devuan1 to 1.10.22-1+devuan2 (on 2019-03-17).

t all that was installed was a kernel.
What probably happened is that you selected the versioned kernel in the
devuan-installer when you first installed that beowulf system. The
installer gives you a choice between a versioned kernel and one that
tracks the latest version.
I don't remember
l -type d -exec chmod g+s '{}' \;"; };
ought to keep things the way I prefer them. The snippet uses -R instead
of the more descriptive --recursive for brevity.
Note that the above is simplistic. If you have anything that requires a
specific group and/or permissions, such specifics wi
f manual
pages. While the apt.conf settings are honoured by the apt as well as
apt-get commands, I am not sure apt will honour the same set of options.
Finally, the list of automatically and manually installed packages (as
well as those on hold) is maintained via the apt-mark utility. Looking
at
I
recreated swap (moved the partition and ran mkswap on it).
Updating /etc/fstab and /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume to match the
changed UUID and running `update-initramfs -u` made it go away.

Yup. Red/green colour blindness is most common but there are many more
