EDIT..found the instructions for manual upgrade and running now... :-) That completed well and afterwards the only glitch was having to install missing cifs-utils.

But to reduce latency, it is better to set a reserved IP address on your router to assign to your Snakeoil machine. That way it will reduce name lookups when using the shared folder. (The lookups will be cached on the local computer, but it's still going to be a round about way compared to direct IP addressing).
My Ubuntu desktop pc adapts to each new ip from the NAS but Snakeoil only looks for the last one. ?
Perhaps I should give the NAS a reserved address or is there some way to have Snakeoil resolve the hostname ?
