Many thanks for your instructions (I've also seen your first message)
and for your work !
I've tried with the daily images you've pointed, loading them by tftp
by hand for a first try, rather then flashing the nas with
ss4000e.pkg.
Everything went fine, till the flash-kernel process which failed.
The relevant lines from the log are :
Jul 29 09:44:16 in-target: Paramétrage de flash-kernel (2.21) ...
Jul 29 09:44:17 main-menu[2196]: (process:4978): /var/lib/dpkg/info/flash-kernel-installer.postinst:
Jul 29 09:44:17 main-menu[2196]: (process:4978): line 141:
Jul 29 09:44:17 main-menu[2196]: (process:4978): syntax error: ")" unexpected (expecting ";;")
Jul 29 09:44:17 main-menu[2196]: (process:4978):
Jul 29 09:44:17 main-menu[2196]: WARNING **: Configuring 'flash-kernel-installer' failed with error code 2
Jul 29 09:44:17 main-menu[2196]: WARNING **: Menu item 'flash-kernel-installer' failed.
And the culprit line (141) is a typo, as you will see in this excerp
from the postinst script :
case "$machine" in
[...snip...]
"Thecus N2100" | "Thecus N4100")
in-target update-initramfs -u || true
;;
"QNAP TS-109/TS-209" | "QNAP TS-119/TS-219" | "QNAP TS-409")
in-target update-initramfs -u || true
if ! apt-install uboot-mkimage; then
error "apt-install uboot-mkimage failed"
fi
141--> "Lanner EM7210")
in-target update-initramfs -u || true
;;
esac
The double semi-colon « ;; » to close the QNAP case item is missing...
Is it a means to finish the installation ?
I'm not a guru of d-i at all, but I have the feeling that with a new
package in the sid repository, d-i would download it and follow the
installation from where it was.
I've retried the same menu item (flash-kernel), to so see what's going
on in the log, and this is stated :
Jul 29 11:31:01 main-menu[2196]: INFO: Menu item 'flash-kernel-installer' selected
Jul 29 11:31:10 in-target: Lecture des listes de paquets...
Jul 29 11:31:12 in-target:

Jul 29 11:31:15 in-target:

Jul 29 11:31:15 in-target:
Jul 29 11:31:21 in-target: flash-kernel est déjà la plus récente version disponible.
Jul 29 11:31:21 in-target: 0 mis à jour, 0 nouvellement installés, 0 à enlever et 0 non mis à jour.
But it seems not a solution to correct the postinst script by hand
before restarting this menu item, because the log follows whith :
Jul 29 11:31:21 main-menu[2196]: (process:5316): mv: cannot rename '/target/usr/sbin/flash-kernel': No such file or directory
Jul 29 11:31:21 main-menu[2196]: WARNING **: Configuring 'flash-kernel-installer' failed with error code 1
Jul 29 11:31:21 main-menu[2196]: WARNING **: Menu item 'flash-kernel-installer' failed.
I suppose that flash-kernel isn't installed because the postinst
script failed (?).
So, any advice to follow ?
Many thnaks in advance, of course,
