Unfortunately the "strictly free" option of Debian is one thing I don't always follow > greg Anyway, as far, my results are as follow: Trying to correct the situation with aptitude failed (probably my fault) and resulted in the removal of many things (but not TDE itself). I restored my backup of end of may on my system partition and updated: worked. So I must have screwed things up some time this month. Same try in Devuan resulted in TDE removal. After that it was impossible to reinstall it (unsatisfied dependancies). So there too I restored but the update problems remain. I'll have to look further, but as Devuan went from RC2 to 1.0, I don't know if you can just "update" from the first to the second. No production system anyway so I probably better install new and clean.
