I am having the same problem on my Synology.
Please help me:
Assuming you are using docker as you mentioned Synology?
Have you followed the container upgrade instructions documented on the README of the Pi-hole docker repo?
Hi PromoFaux,
Thanks for your quick reaction!
Where can I find these instructions?
I never had to update the container before so I will try this then.
How can I see what '<args' to use as shown below in the instruction in step (3)? I want it to be the same volume as it is running on now.
Start your container with the newer base image: docker run <args> pihole/pihole ( <args> being your preferred run volumes and env vars)
If you don't recall the arguments you passed to it before, there is a docker image called runlike which attempts to reverse engineer the docker run command you used to create a container.
You can use it like so:
docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock assaflavie/runlike [insert name of pihole container here]
If you need the name of the pi-hole container, try to find it with docker ps -a
You may need sudo for these commands.
It's also worth looking at the docker-compose example at the top of that readme file. This would allow you to save a "recipe" for the container so you don't have to remember it each time.
If you're not overly familiar with docker concepts, take a look at https://docker-curriculum.com/ before proceeding
I followed the following instruction so I guess I am not using a docker (but Debian chroot). Correct?
The only problem I have right now is that FTL won't update.

OH sorry, to be honest I made an assumption here, as I am also running on synology but in a docker container. Sorry for that.
php5-xml
This looks like quite an old version of PHP, do you know what version of debian it is on the chroot? It needs to be at least version 9 (Stretch)
I don't really have any experience with how Debian chroot's work, and looks like the last comment on that thread was a couple of years ago.
You could try the suggestion listed here:
https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/php-error-updating-to-v5-0/31896/9?u=promofaux
But your best bet is to try and update the debian version to a newer (supported) version.
I already updated these so this didn't help.
I updated Debian but it didn't completely update:

Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.19-18+deb8u10) ...
dnsmasq will need to be disabled/removed as this is embedded into pihole-FTL, running dnsmasq will prevent pihole-FTL from starting.
How can I remove / disable dnsmasq?
I run netstat -anp but dnsmasq is not running.
On a normal debian system I would do something like
sudo systemctl stop dnsmasq
sudo systemctl disable dnsmasq
Your mileage may vary, as mentioned I have no experience with a debian chroot.
So I have to reinstall pihole to solve this problem?
I cannot stop dnsmasq or do not know how to stop it.
DHCP is not enabled on my Synology.
That should be enough from what I read.
The systemctl command is not recognized.
I managed to stop dnsmasq but that is not the solution for my problem.

Reboot and install the new kernel?
Edit: Oh, this is in a chroot jail? Okay, I'm unable to assist.
