HiI've recently got an ReadyNas Ultra 2 and so far it's working great... I've enabled SSH access and am trying to install aptitude but it has an unmet dependency: libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.11I'm using the latest RAIDiator 4.2.21 ... and it's still stock (pretty much installed PLEX mediaserver via img file)According to the source.list it's using the etch repo from debian, i'm not sure whether or not to change that stable to see if that helps... Output of apt-get install aptitudenas:~# apt-get install aptitudeReading package lists... DoneBuilding dependency treeReading state information... DoneSome packages could not be installed. This may mean that you haverequested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstabledistribution that some required packages have not yet been createdor been moved out of Incoming.The following information may help to resolve the situation:The following packages have unmet dependencies: aptitude: Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.11E: Broken packagesAny ideas how to get aptitude installed?RegardsDennis a readynas noob :)
