Severity: critical

SEVERITY is set to CRITICAL as it caused my `apt update` to fail, and it
took several day before I had the time to troubleshoot.

[https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list] and [
https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list.d/] both incorrectly name the
`proposed-updates` repositories as `XXX-update`.

For example, `jessie-proposed` instead of `jessie-proposed-updates`.

The actual repository names are provided below as taken from [
http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged/dists/]

________________________________
=======================

NOTE that the `proposed` name is more consistent with the single word names
than `proposed-updates` and is also more aesthetically pleasing :-)

As such,it would be more appropriate to file the bug on the `
auto.mirror.devuan.org` package to change the directories in [
http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged/dists/], but I expect that to be much
more involved than changing the documentation.
