    As someone wrote in 2017 at Ubuntu Bug #1728616: using ‘devel’ in sources.list causes apt-get update to fail [via]:

    The whole ‘devel’ thing has been half-broken in one way or another since it was introduced. My advice is just to not use it. And I honestly think we should remove all remnants of it from launchpad and the Ubuntu/PPA archives as well. Trying to treat “the latest at any given point” as the same thing as a “rolling” distribution may have been fun to score some political points, but it doesn’t actually do useful things.

    Looking at the issues for “rolling-rhino” it looks like that is still the situation today.
