Joerg,

> Version: 1.3~bookworm-1

This is neither a Devuan nor Debian version. Where did you get it from? What is
in your /etc/apt/sources.list*?

The current Debian and Devuan versions are:

mark@apollo% rmadison libvkd3d-doc
libvkd3d-doc | 1.2-15~bpo11+1 | bullseye-backports | all
libvkd3d-doc | 1.2-15         | testing            | all
libvkd3d-doc | 1.2-15         | unstable           | all

> Additional approved info: This error didn't happen on an original Debian

Neither on a plain Devuan system:-

didn't tell it...

Sorry for the noise.

Please close this bug.
