Application twonky cannot be installed
Hi,
I am trying to reinstall a ReadyNAS 516, and am unable to install the Twonky Media Server.
I downgraded the OS to ReadyNASOS-6.10.8-x86_64, and also added the changes specified in this thread:
When I try to install either from the app page or by uploading twonky_1.0.1_amd64.deb, I get the following error:
Apps operation failed
Application twonky cannot be installed
I've installed three other apps without any problem.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

This was in the install_deppkg.log, but I don't know how to resolve it:

I tried this, but it did not work:

libstdc++6 is already the newest version (4.9.2-10+deb8u2).

Did you perform apt-get update after making the changes? Did you get any error messages when you did so?
NOTE: Do not perform apt-get upgrade.

Looking at this combination
libstdc++6 is already the newest version (4.9.2-10+deb8u2). twonky : Depends: lib32stdc++6 (>= 4.4.5~) but it is not going to be installed
The system already has a newer version of the library than twonky needs.
I think the problem is more likely in the twonky install. It's a really old app ( June 2013)

Granted, although Twonky is running fine on another ReadyNAS 628x with OS 6.10.10. I would like to get it installed on this ReadyNAS 516.
Thanks

I was able to get it to install by the following (I think):
1. Downgrading firmware to 6.10.2
2. SFTP in and update the sources.list and apt.conf, modified for this revision
3. SSH in and use: apt-get update
4. Install Twonky
After this, I could see that it installed some lib32gcc libraries during the Twonky install, and the app functions correctly so far.
Thanks!

Great. It should be safe to upgrade to 6.10.9 (or .10 if you prefer).
If you use antivirus, you definitely need to upgrade firmware again, as there were several fixes to that after 6.10.2.
