Firstly, I also get the same popup window as yourself, with a spinning wheel that will sit there for a long time, it doesnt happen all the time though, sometimes it does stop/start the application quickly, Plex is the one that seems to take a long time or actually stall at the popup.
I have also been having issues with the Genie market on my RN516, originally transmission appeared in the Genie store, now it doesn't, yet I have it installed from when it was previously/originally listed. As yet I have not installed anything via the command line as I am having issues so wanted to leave it as standard as possible, where does Netgear stand on supporting their products if for instance I installed one of the apps you mentioned above from the command line?
I have just installed the 6.0.6 update hoping it would fix the Genie app store available apps and the fact the Plex server only shows as running occasionally via the dashboard, yet always appears to actually be running. But it didn't appear to do anything for Genie.
UPDATE: I decided that as I was having a few issues that I couldnt resolve would do a full Factory Reset (at this point I dont have any data that cant easily be restored). Before doing a factory restore I decided to try the apt-get install method for several of the packages I was interested in, they appear to work however I still would like an official answer to the question "Will Netgear support still support a device if it has applications installed through apt-get as they dont appear in the Genie marketplace?".
I notice in the listing of the available packages it lists 2 for subversion:
Package: subversion-steveo
Package: subversion-ntgr
Any idea what the 2 are? I assume the first is the one in the app store, but hte second?
