If anybody can come up with anything else to try I will try it, but for now I'm just running it "uninstalled."
I don't use Devuan. I use Mint (Xfce). This means what is below will be a little different because of Xfce.
I also run Pale Moon "uninstalled" because I do not like installing programs in Mint using the Terminal.
When using Pale Moon when it is uninstalled, I use the executable file, but it does not create a launcher icon. The launcher icon is located in the Image Files of the extracted Pale Moon folder from the tarball.
I then add a launcher in the Panel (Taskbar) using gui windows. Then I create the path from the Pale Moon folder where it is placed (in my case) Documents and then place the Pale Moon launcher icon on my Panel.
It takes quite a few steps, but it has always worked. All of this is using gui windows where I do not have to mess with the Terminal and run into problems like you're having installation wise. I've been doing it this way since January of 2014.
Can you do the same in Devuan?
