Okay, so I ran that command, and here is my output:
Package: apt Status: install ok unpacked Priority: important Section: admin Installed-Size: 4224 Origin: Devuan Maintainer: Andreas Messer andi@bastelmap.de Architecture: amd64 Version: 2.6.1devuan1 Replaces: apt-transport-https (<< 1.5~alpha4~), apt-utils (<< 1.3~exp2~)
I don't know if this means anything to you. If there is something that I ought to upgrade, replace, add dependencies or recommends, etc., I would be glad to know. I am searching through Devuan now for more information.
Hi Bill,
Here is the original of the package that is broken on your system. The distro, package name, version, and architecture match your broken package. http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/devuan/devuan/pool/main/a/apt/apt_2.6.1devuan1_amd... You need to download this and then install it with dpkg.
You could use a web browser or an ftp client or a series of commands like this, depending upon what you have available.
cd /tmp wget http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/devuan/devuan/pool/main/a/apt/apt_2.6.1devuan1_amd... dpkg -i apt_2.6.1devuan1_amd64.deb
Just in case that wrapped, there should be a space after the wget, not a newline.
