Hi Hugh,

Thanks for the quick response. I suspect that the line of code that you provided does the same thing as:

```auto
  curl -s "${API_ENDPOINT}/v2/device($DEVICEID)?apikey=$APIKEY" -X PATCH -H 'Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8' --data-binary "{\"supervisor_release\": \"$SUPERVISOR_ID\"}"

```

in the script provided in the [forum post](https://forums.balena.io/t/cant-update-supervisor/40931/9).

I believe this sets the _remote_ supervisor version, or am I misunderstanding? My issue on this device is the errors that I have posted, that is, the remote version is set and understood, the image has already been downloaded, but the local system seems to still reference the old supervisor.
