Says upgrade available for SAB on QNAP but Sherpa says not

Hoping this is an easy one and someone can help. I got an alert today in SAB that there is an update (3.4.2) available. I am currently on 3.4.1 on a QNAP NAS running the SAB package installed via Sherpa. I used putty to SSH in and ran sherpa upgrade SABnzbd and it said no new package is available. Is it just that I have to wait or could something else be going on?

Hey Marty.
Application updates (like SABnzbd) are separate from QPKG updates. Sherpa only handles QPKG updates and upgrades, and has zero awareness of application versions.
Your SABnzbd QPKG automatically upgrades your SABnzbd application when you start the QPKG.
So, to upgrade SABnzbd, please navigate to your QTS App Centre, then ‘stop’ and ‘start’ the SABnzbd QPKG to perform the application upgrade to 3.4.2.

Well, shoot. I did not know it was that easy! That worked and thank you again for the help.
You helped me previously when some python stuff was going wonky with SAB and had me use Sherpa to fix that so I thought Sherpa would also update as there is a command called upgrade and SAB is a program option. If that's not updating the app itself, what is the sherpa upgrade option upgrading when I enter sherpa upgrade SABnzbd? Just hoping to learn.

No worries.

The sherpa 'upgrade' command will upgrade any QPKGs where a new QPKG version is available. You can check which QPKGs can be upgraded with:
... or view the status table with:
Sherpa will also upgrade the Entware IPKGs (only if they require upgrading) and will force-reinstall various PIP modules. If I remember correctly, this should also restart each of your other sherpa QPKGs to force an internal application update too.
