APT-GET on Readynas Pro
Hi guys, I would like to now how to get apt-get to work on my Pro as I would like to install dmidecode. I have done the following via ssh: READYNASPRO:~# apt-get update Hit http://www.read...
Your sources.list looks fine; it is just like mine, except that I have the backports and security repositories uncommented as well.
The errors you are seeing are unrelated to dmidecode; its only dependency is on libc6. You can install the package manually:
The apt-get errors are a separate issue. The packages referenced in the error messages -- libfontconfig1 and tonido (and probably php5-imap, too) -- are not part of the standard ReadyNAS installation. I presume that they are appearing because of earlier changes you made to your installation.
Until you resolve those unmet dependencies, apt-get will complain about them and refuse to install new packages. You can try to resolve the dependencies by doing as apt-get suggests (issuing "apt-get -f install"), but it will probably "fix" the problems by removing those packages.
If you don't have a current backup, you might want to make one. It is not difficult to mess up a system using apt-get, especially if you are pointing its sources.list at repositories other than the default.
