yep how right you are, I tested it but it pulled in libsystemd for some reason and the whole point of moving to devuan was to get away from that unneeded dependency.
So I guess I have to compile it myself then!?
Most autotooled software including Tor is easy to compile, so if whatever package repository you use is out of date or does things you don't like or want to deal with, don't hesitate to grab the latest tor release and try...
wget https://dist.torproject.org/tor-0.2.8.7.tar.gz tar -xf tor-0.2.8.7.tar.gz cd tor-0.2.8.7 ./configure make ./src/or/tor
