I am attempting to install sudo on my ReadyNAS to be able to run some stuff from the command line. When I attempt to do so using apt-get, I get an error - full output is below (Spaces are added for ease of reading):

The function I was needing to run was giving a message it needed to be run specifically as Admin, not Root, but I realized I was able to just SSH in as Admin and do it that way instead.

Something wrong there, root is what you always should use. You can really mess things up if you try to install packages as admin.
