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.

 

https://apt.readynas.com/packages/readynasos/dists/6.10.8/apps/pool/t/transmission/transmission_2.82...

 

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But there are other recent issues because Debian 8 (Jessie) has been archived by the Debian folks.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:

Re: apt.readynas.com - Broken repo?

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.

 

https://kb.netgear.com/30068/ReadyNAS-OS-6-SSH-access-support-and-configuration-guides 

 

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.

Re: apt.readynas.com - Broken repo?

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...

https://apt.readynas.com/packages/readynasos/dists/6.10.9/apps/pool/t/transmission/transmission_2.82... 

 

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. 

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.

Not sure how it is built.

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.

Re: apt.readynas.com - Broken repo?

I encountered this problem when trying to install plexmediaserver from the dashboard. I ended up trying htop from the commandline as it is a simple package and then noticed why it failed; any install attempt fails with the same:

The following NEW packages will be installed:

I'm on a ReadyNAS 314 with firmware 6.10.8.

You refer to firmware 6.10.9 but my NAS says I'm on the latest version when I check for updates.

Any thoughts?

TIA

Because it was just released.  You can manually install it from here:

Thanks. As it wasn't shown in the dashboard I wasn't sure it was safe to do so.

There is a lag of 1-2 weeks after release before they push out the the update.  They've never said why, but it is possible that they are looking for early feedback.

 

I did install it on my test RN102, but nothing else yet.

Re: apt.readynas.com - Broken repo?

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. 

root@steammills:/data# apt-get install gcc-4.9

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

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

Re: apt.readynas.com - Broken repo?

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 update

 

 this 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.

 

Have a lovely day,

Re: apt.readynas.com - Broken repo?

@Anisha
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.

I'm running it on two NAS (arm and x86) with no issues.

 

Note you can downgrade back to 6.10.8 if needed.

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
