The packages are listed when I do apt-cache search, etc., but then when I tried to download, it would ask for dependencies that seemed like they were for Bullseye. So then I tried using Sid, Bullseye, unstable, etc., but finally went back to vanilla Devuan Beowulf, and Buster for the Trinity repositories. When I ran Jessie, I would always use your PSB repo, and now I also have tried PTB repo, but it kept saying I needed 11.0 Buster packages. So I went back to the Trinity ppa repo (I believe it's Tim's or a mirror thereof), along with vanilla Devuan (pkgmaster, etc.), and then I played with dpkg and apt-get as already described. Now it's working, but I still have problems finding or downloading packages, even though I see them listed.
