I guess you should add both contrib and non-free. If you are getting
packages from backports, add contrib and non-free in your backports
line as well.

A workaround is to download the missing packages, nvidia-installer-cleanup and 
nvidia-legacy-checker, from packages.debian.org

Then use sudo dpkg -i  to install the packages or as root 
user if you don't use sudo.

Then retry installing nvidia-driver.

After further investigation, the missing package is in Debian 9 (Stretch) 
Contrib:

https://pkgs.org/download/nvidia-installer-cleanup

I tried adding 'contrib' to the end of sources, which worked for 'non-free,' 
but doesn't seem to work for contrib.

So...  What is the corresponding Devuan repository for Debian Contrib?

If there isn't one, what are the issues with installing the .deb 
(nvidia-installer-cleanup_20151021+4_amd64.deb) from the above link?

Thanks,
Michael

PS:  Does anyone see this? Or am I in some sort of moderation?
