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_am…
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_am…
dpkg -i apt_2.6.1devuan1_amd64.deb
Just in case that wrapped, there should be a space after the wget, not a
newline.
--Mike
dpkg -s apt | head
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(a)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.
