unable to install build-essential in 6.9.1

Hello,

 

I'm trying to install build-essential but without any luck.

I the prepivious version of the firmware i had done it. Now in 6.9.1 its impossible.

 

my sources are:

 

 

# cat sources.list
deb http://apt.readynas.com/packages/readynasos 6.9.1 updates apps main

deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian jessie main
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian jessie main non-free
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian etch main

and i execute the following:

 

 

 

# apt-get install build-essential
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

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:
 build-essential : Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed or
                            libc-dev
                   Depends: g++ (>= 4:4.9.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

then I try to install libc6-dev:

 

# apt-get install libc6-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done

 libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.19-18+deb8u10)

and obviously i will try to install libc6, but this is what i get.

 

# apt-get install libc6

libc6 is already the newest version (2.19-18+deb8u10.netgear1).

do you have any ideas why is that?

Re: unable to install build-essential in 6.9.1

This issue was caused from the `20defaultrelease` file configured to use Debian Jessie.

/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20defaultrelease 

It is not recommended to configure other debian repos to have higher primary. Please be careful when following websites that provide debian guides and may provide conflicts with os libraries, and make sure to keep the readynas repo with higher priority.

 

Here were some findings for other that might accedently run into this:

 

 

To help find a sample package to look at:

# dpkg -l | grep libc 
ii  libc-bin                       2.19-18+deb8u10.netgear1      armel        GNU C Library: Binaries
ii  libc-dev-bin                   2.19-18+deb8u10               armel        GNU C Library: Development binaries
ii  libc6:armel                    2.19-18+deb8u10.netgear1      armel        GNU C Library: Shared libraries
...

That is the list of packages that you have and the libc-dev-bin is a good example to use for the priority checking and seeing why we are not able to install the parent packaging.

Output from the lab unit:

# dpkg -l | grep libc
ii  libc-bin                       2.19-18+deb8u10.netgear1   armel        GNU C Library: Binaries
ii  libc-dev-bin                   2.19-18+deb8u10.netgear1   armel        GNU C Library: Development binaries
ii  libc6:armel                    2.19-18+deb8u10.netgear1   armel        GNU C Library: Shared libraries
ii  libc6-dev:armel                2.19-18+deb8u10.netgear1   armel        GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Header Files
...

The version is showing a newer version that is posted in the readynas repo.

 

Policy where the issue would start surfacing:

# apt-cache policy  libc-dev-bin
libc-dev-bin:
  Installed: 2.19-18+deb8u10
  Candidate: 2.19-18+deb8u10
  Version table:
     2.19-18+deb8u10.netgear1 900
        900 http://apt.readynas.com/packages/readynasos 6.9.2/main armel Packages

        990 http://http.us.debian.org/debian jessie/main armel Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

It shows that it installed the older version that is not coming from the readynas repo. It also highlights the preferred repo to update from.

 

Policy from the lab unit:

# apt-cache policy libc-dev-bin
libc-dev-bin:
  Installed: 2.19-18+deb8u10.netgear1
  Candidate: 2.19-18+deb8u10.netgear1

        500 http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian jessie/main armel Packages
        500 http://security.debian.org jessie/updates/main armel Packages

It shows that it prefers and installs the readynas repo version.

 

 

In this case, I remove the `20defaultrelease` config, and ran the following commands to check:

# apt clean
# apt update
# apt install build-essential Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

any suggestions?

Re: unable to install build-essential in 6.9.1

There are a couple parts that you may want to update.

 

1) The `/etc/apt/sources.list` does get updated/overwritten on firmware updates, so you may want to have seperate debian apt configuration files in the `sources.list.d` directory.

 

2) Leads to the debian apt configurations:

For the ReadyNAS development packages, you can find them in the "dev" repo:

echo 'deb http://apt.readynas.com/packages/readynasos 6.9.1 dev' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/readynas-dev.list

(It looks like this version of the `build-essential` is specific to netgear's version, so you would need the readynasos repo update.)

 

For the other debian packages that you have listed:

 

bash -c 'cat > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-other.list' << EOF
deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian jessie main non-free
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian etch main
EOF

  

 

What packages were you looking at in the etch version? (Its a little bit on the older side these days.)

Re: unable to install build-essential in 6.9.1

Hi,

I'm trying to install SABYenc but with no luck. I manage to install sometime ago an older version, but after ReadyNAS update, I'm unable to install new versions.

 

The problem I get is the same as I had the first time i did it.

pip install sabyenc==3.3.2
...
compilation terminated.

error: command 'arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc' failed with exit status

To over come this problem I installed build-essential.

 

Now i cant install build-essential, since it fails in dependencies.

I am suspecting there might be a file format issue somewhere. (And there is another config file that isn't being used.)

Re: unable to install build-essential in 6.9.1

I'm already in 6.9.2 and the problem is the same. From your output I can see that I should have the libc6-dev pkg from Netgear, which I don't.
Does this pkg is installed by default?
Would 6.9.3 make any difference?

Re: unable to install build-essential in 6.9.1

Thank you all so much for the support.

 

I did add this configuration some time ago, when i was tring to install CrossToolchains and completely forgot it. At that time this configuration did not cuased any problems installing build-essential but after the FW update, the priorities kickd in.
