I ran into a little snag when I had updated my ReadyNAS to the latest 4.2.19 release, when I logged in with ssh to install the dev tools I ran into this:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Any other developer that has stumbled across the same problem or is just me??
Well I shortened the my post a bit too much I guess 😐
I updated the system to 4.2.19 and then logged on and did 1. "apt-get update" 2. "apt-get -f install" (like I've done on previous system updates) and this has updated all installed packages to match the binaries installed by the system update
But! This time this is what happened...

I didn't think twice about it as I've had to remove old versions of some packages on other systems before when doing system updates, I just assumed that I simply could do a "re-install" when I had all that taken care of.
As for installing stuff that I can't, well, I've had all of those packages installed since 4.2.15 so that's why I accepted the fact that I had to remove them but now even

fails!!
And I most certainly think that I should be able to install the "build-essential" package just like with previous releases of RAIDiator.
EDIT 2: Edit 1 had a type which pointed in a wrong direction, new back-tracking and I still end up with the same type of version mismatch...
if you look for my java crashplan post, i also saw a similar issue when i tried to do a dpkg-reconfigure, it appears something changed or is broken, so i'm bumping this.
