I have acquired a used HP Probook 440 G5, on
which I have installed
Devuan Chimaera. The Chimaera installer balked at adding
| deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged chimaera-security main contrib
| non-free deb-src http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged chimaera-security
| main contrib non-free
which continue to fail to work after the install completed; I'm not sure
just what they provide and if they are really necessary; I couldn't find
any useful information about them in a web search.
Perhaps these need to be working before installing Trinity? I followed
the install instructions in the Trinity Wiki page
<https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Devuan_Trinity_Repository_Installation_I
ns tructions>, but
| apt-get update
fails with 'E: The repository ... does not have a Release file.' (see
attached command output, etc.).
Since all of my experience with Linux has been with openSUSE and RedHat,
I'm not sure what to do to resolve these issues. Help!? :-)

You might need to add or update the keyring for Trinity. Otherwise, if this is only a problem getting your
machine to recognize these repos, then
you can do this:
# Trinity - TDE - ### Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories
# sudo torify apt-get -o Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories=true update
# sudo apt-get -o Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories=true update
I guess the ###
should be separate lines? and this might correct the '... does not have a
Release file.'?
(copied from my own sources list)
torify = only if you do everything over Tor
This is not a permanent solution, by any means, and I'm not sure if that's
your problem. In any case, security-minded persons will probably raise a
ruckus and tell you NOT TO DO THIS!!!!!! They will also tell you not to run
with scissors, and not to direct the laser point into your remaining good
eye. But if you just need to get started, try that, as a temporary fix.
Okay,
I'll give it a try.

P.S. I changed my TDE repositories to Debian names rather than Devnuan,
because for TDE itself I don't think it matters; I think references to
Devuan packages in the Trinity repos just redirect to give you Debian
packages. For the most part, Debian and Devuan are identical; just not when
you are actually installing from the non-TDE Debian or Devuan repositories.
Then you must choose correctly. But TDE might work better if you specify
Debian instead.
I guess this is just a matter of changing .devuan.org to
.debian.org in the offending
lines? (Sorry; this is my first time experience with non-RPM based Linux.)
