yes, sure, after renaming the REPOS, I performed the 
database update.

dunno ... but MX is not plain Debian, it also has some 
specific repo on its own, so dunno

same as here (and also some as in some virtual machines 
after some upgrades : luckily there I reversed the upgrade 
restoring a former snapshot)

I really love MX aesthetically, but I must say I have always 
had both screen problems and unpredictable system stuck.
Tonight, on a third other 11y-old machine where too I had 
installed a fresh WILDFLOWER on a dedicaded disk, during sw 
installation, a freezing crash. totally unresponsive.
Debian never crashes on that dual boot machine.

I love Mint LMDE (the pure debian version).

I agree, it ships with a lot of very tasty and friendly 
utilities ... but out of 3 true machines and a virtual one, 
it runs reliably on just ONE.
And it is a distro where I do not even do much 
"experiments", just very normal usage.

On Debian I made all possible disasters, and somewhat it 
absorbs the strikes.
Devuan too seems rocky, but I am experiencing problems 
upgrading from beowulf to dedalus.
Maybe I'll open another 3D :\
