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...
- 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.

Just 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.
Not sure how it is built.

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.
You should be able to mirror them using apt-mirror, and then just use the mirror. If you look further into the thread I posted above, you'll see some conversations on that.
I followed those instructions but see all these kind of errors. Why does apt-get attempt to install the deb8u1 version of these packages if deb8u2 is already installed? This type of error is seen for most package installs.

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:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gcc-4.9 : Depends: cpp-4.9 (= 4.9.2-10+deb8u1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gcc-4.9-base (= 4.9.2-10+deb8u1) but 4.9.2-10+deb8u2 is to be installed
Depends: libgcc-4.9-dev (= 4.9.2-10+deb8u1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Hello Gregsta
When you unmet the dependencies you get this kind of error. It's possible that the repositories you are using do not contain the necessary packages or have not been updated to include the specific versions required.
You can try
sudo apt-get updatethis will refresh the page and retrieve the info on the packages.
You can also try
sudo apt-get install -f
this may rectify and fix the broken package error.
Please try with both commands once.

The 403 errorrand the repo access is misconfigured in the Netgear website. Needs fixing by Netgear and should be a simple fix.
Why is that taking so long?
Also, the new firmware still is not presented in my dashboard. It was mentioned here there's usually a 2 to 3 weeks delay but it's a lot longer by now. Are there issues with it preventing it from becomming GA?
Thanks.Hello hac_sysmon ,
What is the current firmware version you are using currently?
We will check from our end for an update on the repo access.
