Installing it again (on top of the UI based older install) using apt is bound to mess up things - right?

I didn't suggest that, I suggested over-installing using the upload control on the web ui apps page.  The deb file is the readynas version (it comes from apps.readynas.com). 

I guess you could try uninstalling the old version first using apt.  It could also be useful to download the log zip file, and look in apt-history.log - checking for any partially installed packages.

Of course you are already somewhat messed up.  A factory reset certainly clears it out, but that seems overkill to me right now.

Thanks Stephen (again as always).

Yes - right now it is just working in the background as it should and I am ok with it.

What I am concerned is that a new version comes out and I cant update - I was planning for that scenario.

apt logs dont show much.

I am hesitant to break whats working but as a new update comes up, I may be forced to break it especially if it is a security update.

How would I be able to check the currently installed package from apps.readynas.com - I know I can do dpkg for apt/debian version but is that different from apps.readynas.com version?

Here is what I found - Resilio is running in ps using this command line option on boot

/apps/resilio-sync/bin/rslsync --config /apps/resilio-sync/config/sync.conf

However, dpkg --list | grep resi or dpkg --list | grep sync shows nothing - there is no package installed that way.

Here are all references to resiliosync in all of /etc

I dont know what is inatalled and how anymore

I was able to see it in apt-cache search resilio and then apt-cache show resilio-sync

Well, the apps.readynas.com version will install it to /apps (keeping it from filling your OS partition), and will include the glue needed for the GUI install/uninstall.  The link I gave earlier is the NAS deb file, you can certainly look into it, and compare it with the debian version.

Did you also check apt-history.log in the NAS log zip download?

Here are the two relevant recent lines in that log

The last line was me running a manual apt update after I ran into this problem and was asked to run apt update

The app-install.log has this

-- No entries --

Actually you ran apt-get upgrade which is not recommended (and could have bricked your NAS).

However, you apparently got away with it this time.

Ok - firmware 6.9 is out - upadting - fingers crossed that this "unacknowldged" issue has been "silently" fixed.

Silly me - just rebooted after 6.9 and no Resilio !

Just Frustrated !

It is the same for me. Also there should be an update to the newest version, because the used one has a bug with disk sleep. :-(
