+1 Don't ever mix devuan with debian - ok, you can if you feel bored and need a challenging day and playing with nukes does not fit the bill.
On a sidenote, I'd replace "chimera" with "daedalus". My /etc/apt/sourcec.list is like this:
deb http://mirror.ppa.trinitydesktop.org/trinity-testing daedalus deps extra main
deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged daedalus main contrib non-free
If you wonder which devuan repostitories exist, take alook here:
http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/dists/
