Update on that link. The sourceforge download link is dead, although I did find an archived version of the same, to wit: https://web.archive.org/web/20240322040655/https://downloads.sourceforge.net/aptoncd/aptoncd_0.1-1_all.deb Likewise, there is an archived version of the source: https://web.archive.org/web/20240322040658/https://downloads.sourceforge.net/aptoncd/aptoncd-0.1.tar.gz I suspect that this package may be too old to run on currently-supported Devuan or Debian-type systems. (It's supposed to run on the 'Buntus, as well, hence the "all" in the package name.) It requires dependencies from systems at least as old as the Debian/Devuan Jessie releases, or its equivalent in Ubuntu. It may be possible to get it running by compiling from source. Can't find it anywhere in Debian, not even in archived packages, but maybe I didn't search hard enough. However, it does still exist in Devuan's archives: https://packages.debian.org/index https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/package-query.html?c=package&q=aptoncd=0.1.98+bzr117-1.4 http://archive.devuan.org/merged/pool/DEBIAN/main/a/aptoncd/aptoncd_0.1.98+bzr117-1.4_all.deb Like I said, this is a very handy tool. It would be nice if somebody out there with the expertise could fork it. It may be that a Slackware user can get it working, though, so this may be relevant to some readers.
