It seems my OMV does not run "apt-get update" anymore. When I go to the update manager it reports there are no updates. After doing "apt-get update" via CLI, suddenly the available updates appear.
What went wrong?
OMV GUI does not show updates

It is a bit confusing.
apt-get update will read your sources list. So you will see some output in the window, but it will not install any newer versions of software.
apt-get upgrade will install newer versions of software, if available.In the GUI of OMV, when you go to the update management and press check, it will do an apt-get upgrade, but will only show the packages where newer versions are available. They will be installed after you select install.

You know... I always update via command line (have since the very first time I installed OMV .2).. does the webUI call dist-upgrade as well? Every time I think to check I forget and do a dist-upgrade via command line. -

I don't think I had to push "check" in the past before (with OMV 2). But that is a good hint. I always thought this is executed automatically when going to the updates section. -

This is not the case.
But there is a cron job that is looking for updates on a daily basis.
