What

Adds a Troubleshooting section to the readme and a note on the existing install step 5, covering the most common cause of the package showing "Error" after a DSM upgrade.

Why

DSM upgrades (e.g. 7.3.1 → 7.3.2) wipe /opt/sbin/spk_su from the system partition. Without it, the package startup script cannot load the kernel module and shows "Error" in Package Center. The fix is to re-run the two DSM 7 first-time setup commands, but this is not documented anywhere as a post-upgrade step.

Confirmed on DS918+ (apollolake) running DSM 7.3.2-86009.

Changes

  • Added a note to install step 5 warning that DSM upgrades can delete spk_su
  • Added a Troubleshooting section with symptoms, root cause, fix commands, and verification steps
