Hi,I'm not realy new, but just couldn't transfer the account over from the old system.
The problem is not related to updating of frontview. I just recently updated to the latest version 4.2.31 because I had the same problem on an older version and though you updated the apt sources file in the latest, but alas.
This is just "apt-get update" run from the commandline after the root ssh package has been installed.

The problem is that the repository is not reachable ie. you should be able to read
http://www.readynas.com/packages/dists/4.2.31/Release
but this just redirects to the front page now
I see from https://github.com/ReadyNAS/sdk/wiki/Setup-CnCpp-compile-environment-(amd64)
that the repository line in sources.list for OS6 has changed to
deb http://apt.readynas.com/packages/readynasos 6.4.2 updates main
and I can reach
http://apt.readynas.com/packages/readynasos/dists/6.4.2/Release
So I'm wondering if also the repository has changed for the old Raidiator4.2
It used to work fine before, but this was maybe a year or two ago.

Hello potatopeel,
But the ReadyNAS device is getting on the Internet? May I ask why you do it on SSH?
Regards,

Yes, as you can see from the log it has no problem to fetch data from the debian repositories. The links also don't work from another network and the second poster seems to also have the same issue.
It is not possible to install packages, other than the "apps" built by the community, from frontview so SSH is needed if I need something else.
Netgear has built custom readynas packages and thus there has been a readynas archive where these reside, just as for the newer OS6 as I pointed out. Some of these custom packages are sometimes needed as dependencies when installing new packages.
