NetData not showing the correct version after upgrade

Question

I installed netdata some time ago and according to official instructions if the .envoronment file is not available then you simply do a reinstall over the old one.

After I did this I get the following issues:

/opt/netdata/bin/netdata -version Says: netdata 1.11.1_rolling

But If I try to upgrade my system says:

netdata is already the newest version (1.9.0+dfsg-1)

systemctl status netdata

Shows:

Any ideas how to fix this appreciated.

many thanks

Perhaps you installed Netdata using a package manager instead of the kickstart.sh script? If so, better remove it via the package manager and then run bash <(curl -Ss https://my-netdata.io/kickstart.sh)
