the function XmVaCreateSimpleCheckBox() is broken. It should work like 
XmVaCreateSimpleRadioBox() with 
XtVaSetValues(radio_box,XmNradioBehavior, FALSE,NULL);
but produces nothing. example code is attached.

As you have identified, this is almost certainly an upstream issue. Furthermore,
src:motif is not forked in Devuan and we use Debian's packages directly without
recompilation.

I am unable to get the upstream bug tracker[1] to open today. I don't see a
similar issue reported in Debian either. You would be better reporting this
issue upstream or to Debian. If you do, please add the url here so we can track
when it gets fixed.

Same as me, seems down for a while now (may be dead ?).
