mod_privsep.so & mod_authn_privsep.so lost after apache upgrade

Question

I tried apt-get upgrade and think 'apache2-bin' removed mod_privsep.so
Is StephenB still around? Does anyone else have a copy of
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_privsep.so and
/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_authn_privsep.so

Or is there a good way to revert to a previous apache? Maybe from https://rnxtras.com/?

This is the same issue in the previous 2018 post, but it's too old for me to comment on.
https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-ReadyNAS-Users-General/Cannot-Access-Admin-Page-ReadyNas-102-before-Update-firmware-at/m-p/1223029
and the link on https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/apache-module-mod_authn_privsep-so-missing-readynas-rn104-4175645263/ is also dead

I'm on a RR4360X

oh yikes! I tried to use basic auth in&nbsp; /etc/frontview/apache/Auth.conf[0] and get new scarier errors.

Have you tried an OS reinstall?

Sandshark · Answer

Yes, you are in more trouble than you thought. apt-get upgrade should never be performed on a ReadyNAS, as the OS includes both Netgear-specific versions of some modules as well as some other Netgear executables that may rely on a specific outdated version of a standard one. What you have run into thus far is likely the tip of the iceberg.

Hopefully, an OS re-install will fix your issue. But before you try that, if you can still access your files, make sure your backup is complete. If the OS re-install doesn't fix it, things may get worse, where you need to factory default and start over.

Thanks for the quick responses!I haven't tried reinstalling the OS yet. Still hopeful I can avoid downtime -- there are a few long running processes actively using the NAS.&nbsp;I'm hoping I can reconstruct the debian 'apache2 2.2.34-0.netgear2' (and the rest of the *netgear versioned packages) from the restore image.https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-300/ReadyNASOS-6.10.8-x86_64.zip&nbsp;&nbsp;1) Any insights into mounting the .img file? Or better ways to get at pristine OS files?2) are there docs for backing up the RAID configuration (while CLI is still up)/migrating to e.g. openmediavault (If I totally bork ReadyNAS OS)&nbsp;-------&nbsp;for anyone else that ends up here, /var/log/apt/history.log shows the damage:&nbsp;&nbsp;Spoiler (Highlight to read)apache2-mpm-prefork:amd64 (2.2.34-0.netgear2, 2.4.10-10+deb8u12)apache2.2-common:amd64 (2.2.34-0.netgear2, 2.4.10-10+deb8u12)apache2.2-bin:amd64 (2.2.34-0.netgear2, 2.4.10-10+deb8u12)apache2:amd64 (2.2.34-0.netgear2, 2.4.10-10+deb8u12)libapache2-mod-authnz-external:amd64 (3.2.6-1.netgear1, 3.3.2-0.1+b1)libapache2-mod-authz-unixgroup:amd64 (1.0.3-1.netgear2, 1.1.0-0.1)wget:amd64 (1.16-1+deb8u4.netgear1, 1.16-1+deb8u5)snmpd:amd64 (5.7.2.1+dfsg-1+0.netgear2, 5.7.2.1+dfsg-1+deb8u1+b1)libsnmp-base:amd64 (5.7.2.1+dfsg-1+0.netgear2, 5.7.2.1+dfsg-1+deb8u1)libsnmp30:amd64 (5.7.2.1+dfsg-1+0.netgear2, 5.7.2.1+dfsg-1+deb8u1+b1)clamav:amd64 (0.99.2+dfsg-6+deb9u1.netgear1, 0.100.0+dfsg-0+deb8u1)clamav-daemon:amd64 (0.99.2+dfsg-6+deb9u1.netgear1, 0.100.0+dfsg-0+deb8u1)clamav-freshclam:amd64 (0.99.2+dfsg-6+deb9u1.netgear1, 0.100.0+dfsg-0+deb8u1)clamav-base:amd64 (0.99.2+dfsg-6+deb9u1.netgear1, 0.100.0+dfsg-0+deb8u1)libclamav7:amd64 (0.99.2+dfsg-6+deb9u1.netgear1, 0.100.0+dfsg-0+deb8u1)apache2-mpm-prefork:amd64 (2.2.34-0.netgear2, 2.4.10-10+deb8u12)apache2.2-common:amd64 (2.2.34-0.netgear2, 2.4.10-10+deb8u12)apache2.2-bin:amd64 (2.2.34-0.netgear2, 2.4.10-10+deb8u12)apache2:amd64 (2.2.34-0.netgear2, 2.4.10-10+deb8u12)libapache2-mod-authnz-external:amd64 (3.2.6-1.netgear1, 3.3.2-0.1+b1)libapache2-mod-authz-unixgroup:amd64 (1.0.3-1.netgear2, 1.1.0-0.1)wget:amd64 (1.16-1+deb8u4.netgear1, 1.16-1+deb8u5)snmpd:amd64 (5.7.2.1+dfsg-1+0.netgear2, 5.7.2.1+dfsg-1+deb8u1+b1)libsnmp-base:amd64 (5.7.2.1+dfsg-1+0.netgear2, 5.7.2.1+dfsg-1+deb8u1)libsnmp30:amd64 (5.7.2.1+dfsg-1+0.netgear2, 5.7.2.1+dfsg-1+deb8u1+b1)clamav:amd64 (0.99.2+dfsg-6+deb9u1.netgear1, 0.100.0+dfsg-0+deb8u1)clamav-daemon:amd64 (0.99.2+dfsg-6+deb9u1.netgear1, 0.100.0+dfsg-0+deb8u1)clamav-freshclam:amd64 (0.99.2+dfsg-6+deb9u1.netgear1, 0.100.0+dfsg-0+deb8u1)clamav-base:amd64 (0.99.2+dfsg-6+deb9u1.netgear1, 0.100.0+dfsg-0+deb8u1)libclamav7:amd64 (0.99.2+dfsg-6+deb9u1.netgear1, 0.100.0+dfsg-0+deb8u1)&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Not something I've tried, but the internal flash should be extractable in tech support mode.
&nbsp;
Look for the smallest disk with a single partition with (in tech support mode)
&nbsp;
cat /proc/partitions
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Let's assume it's sdg.
&nbsp;
With an X86 OS-6 NAS you mount it with
&nbsp;
mount /dev/sdg1 /mnt
&nbsp;
For an ARM OS-6 NAS you mount it with
&nbsp;
mount =t=ubifs ubi0_0 /mnt
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
You can then extract root.tlz with
&nbsp;
tar -avx -f root.tlz -C /sysroot
&nbsp;
Though it's probably safer to extract it to a folder on your data volume first, so you can see what it would overwrite.
