Okay guys, so I am stumped and confuzzled.
I just did an upgrade to Devuan Beowulf (= Debian Buster), and everything went
fine; except once up and running, I couldn't download more than a few of
Trinity's packages.
After trying different repositories, and playing with my sources list, I
managed to do just a bit better, then I saved the day with some extreme
voodoo using about config [*I meant to say, apt-get* ... writing on
auto-pilot] (scrolling through the manpages to find something
that work). I ended up getting enough the Trinity packages to download by
using --ignore-hold and dselect-upgrade options. I even searched out the
links to deb packages on the developers' repositories, and downloaded them
with wget, so that I could try forcing install using dpkg.
Now at least (at last) I do have a working system which is a reasonable
facsimile of my previous one, but it does seem like it ought to have been
easier. For about the past three days now, I've lived in the command-line.
Also I would like recommendations for a firewall that displays active
connections and rules, etc., like the old Firestarter used to do. I catch all
kinds of problems by noticing activity on my firewall, but now I cannot seem
to find one that displays active connections, and Firestarter can no longer
be hacked to make it work on a newer system.
Thanks for any advice or comments,
Bill
