Piccoro,

This is a Debian bug. See https://bugs.debian.org/844049 which has been open and
unfixed since 2016. As it involves unforked packages that Devuan uses directly
from Debian, I suggest you add your voice to teh Debian BTS to get it fixed.

> Description: Debian GNU/Linux 9.10 (strecht)

In addition, this doesn't appear to be a Devuan system at all, so closing.

Mark
