apt.readynas.com - Broken repo?
I'm seeing 403 errors when attempting to install any package on a Readynas device running v6.10.8 firmware.
The 403 Access Denied error is seen if I attempt to access the URLs in my own web browser.
Is the issue with the web server permissions or is my Readynas supposed to have some sort of key/certificate to authenticate and that's what is missing here?

- Hi @Anisha,
I'm currently at 6.10.8 still as I'm hesitant to go to 6.10.9 as long as it is not offered through the dashboard.
Thanks for looking into that repo.

Yes. I've looped in a mod ( AnishaA ) but nothing has been fixed yet.
You can get download the deb manually from https://apps.readynas.com/pages/?page_id=9 Upgrading to 6.10.9 will also let you get the packages.
But there are other recent issues because Debian 8 (Jessie) has been archived by the Debian folks. Sandshark identifed the changes needed in the first post here:

Hello Gregsta ,
Yes, there is a possibility that the SSH configuration issue that might be a hinder to installing packages.
You can refer to this kb article to check for the right configuration and make changes accordingly.

As far as we know there is no particular key for installing packages, and have you tried any other application to install and you get the same error?
If not then please try installing other apps to confirm whether the issue.
As StephenB mentioned you can upgrade to the latest firmware which could resolve this issue.
Also, try the URL with a different browser once.
If your issue is resolved please close the thread by clicking "Accept as solution".

That won't help.
The issue is that the 6.10.8 repository either doesn't include the apps pool folder at all, or it doesn't have the needed permissions to access it.
The app package lists in binary-amd64, binary-armel, and binary-armhf are accessible, but not the actual files in pool
The updates pool folder is also not accessible, so it has the same problem. The main pool folder is accessible.

I see what you mean, with the 6.10.8 repo having the issue but not the 6.10.9 repo.
https://apt.readynas.com/packages/readynasos/dists/6.10.8/apps/pool/t/transmission/transmission_2.82-1_amd64.debJust out of interest, what type of repo is this? Does it point remotely to another repo? Not sure if this is a YUM repo or a different type of repo, so just curious.
I'm aware of the issue with the Jessie packages being archived. That is partially why I am here. I was struggling to compile some custom packages to make use of some Python modules but eventually gave up as I was struggling to install so many dependencies and couldn't seem to install keys that would give me access to the archived repos.
Here is a 2024 Solution: It is tested working by me.
When I ran apt update and upgrade I was finally able to get things working without key errors etc.
My question for the group here: what can/should I remove at this point from the mirror/sources lists.
I updated my Sources to:
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
