ReadyNAS 628X - KEYEXPIRED & Hash Sum mismatch - Debian jessie
I'm deeply regretting my 628x purchase in 2019 (still under warranty I believe) since Netgear seems to have completely abandoned ReadyNAS product. Debian Jessie is old has also been archived. They really should OpenSource ReadyNAS OS6 so the community can release future updates. :::PLEASE PLEASE!:::
Anyway, I'm having a couple of problems which I can't seem to fix:
$ apt-get update
W: GPG error: http://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/debian jessie Release: The following signatures were invalid: KEYEXPIRED 1668891673
W: The repository 'http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian jessie Release' is not signed.
N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
The next is:
apt-get -qy install build-essential ca-certificates libreadline-gplv2-dev libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libbz2-dev python-software-properties software-properties-common git-core python2.7
...after several successful Get packages... it terminates with:
E: Failed to fetch https://apt.readynas.com/packages/readynasos/dists/6.10.8/main/pool/l/linux/linux-libc-dev_4.4.218.1_amd64.deb Hash Sum mismatch
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
I'm not sure how to solve these... Hash Sum mismatch? Is there a problem with the distro? Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thank you.

I should mention, this is all after creating a new volume and a factory reset with OS 6.10.8. Thoughts anyone?
- givememynamebakLuminary
Each one of these is after a fresh install and factory reset:
ReadyNAS OS 6.10.8
E: Failed to fetch https://apt.readynas.com/packages/readynasos/dists/6.10.8/main/pool/l/linux/linux-libc-dev_4.4.218.1_amd64.deb Hash Sum mismatch- Did someone manually update some files in the repository and forget to update the checksums.
ReadyNAS OS 6.10.7
Err:25 https://apt.readynas.com/packages/readynasos 6.10.7/main amd64 libc-dev-bin amd64 2.19-18+deb8u10.netgear1 403 Forbidden- This happens when a file is listed in the NTGR repo package list but isn’t actually in the repo.
What's going on Netgear? It certainly would be nice if Netgear would just opensource ReadyNAS OS6 so the community can maintain it if they're no longer willing too!

Thanks for the ping StephenB!
Hi givememynamebak,
I've relayed this information to our L3 Engineers.
Please bear with us and thank you for your patience.

Regarding the Debian repos, they have moved the jessie repos to http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/ and there are different keys, see http://archive.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debian-archive-keyring/
Presumably, /etc/apt/source.list needs to be updated with the archive repo locations, and archive keyring package installed.

mataglap2 - Good point. I saw that too.
Marc_Vand JeraldM - can you please include a patch or hotfix with the updated keys and sources.list for debian jessie since it's now been moved to archive? And as a special request, make ReadyNAS OS6 including readynasd open source so the community can keep things updated?
Thank you!

Have same problem with ReadyNas 526x but it seems that Netgear have no longer interest in supportting ex-customers. Its a pitty, despite the time of launch of Netgear products it still can operate (mine still operates with Docker strenghtened with additional 16 GB memory - however more and more images refuse to work due to oudated docker/system version). Having opportunity to install other OS supported by community as FreeNas, Open Media Vault, TrueNas or similar, would save CO2 and the planet ( correct Netgear Team??? 😆 )
For me personally it is painfull as I trusted Netgear having : Orbi, Arlo and two ReadyNas and sadly it seems to be a wrong choice.

Grogu- I created a ReadyNAS debian package for 19.03.9 which should buy more time. It's available here under releases: https://github.com/jdnowak/readynas_docker
Make sure you shut off docker in frontview before installing as mentioned in the README.md or this git issue: https://github.com/jdnowak/readynas_docker/issues/2

Sorry for the late reply. I am not active in this forum anymore since they moved it to the horrendous forum platform Khoros (former Lithium).
You can still install packages unauthenticated by adding --allow-unauthenticated, example:
apt-get install --allow-unauthenticated exfat-fuse exfat-utils
Or add the argument to a config so that you don't need to write it each time with:
echo 'APT::Get::custom-arguments "--allow-unauthenticated";' >> /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/999myconfig
