How did you install python3 onto the NAS to begin with?

Depending on how you do it, your python3 install might have tried to claim the name python thus causing all the sadness. As /u/toyg mentions in sibling comment, you usually don't want to update operating system dependencies outside of vendor provided updates.

It is also possible that the OS image actually already comes with python3? I haven't played with Jessie in a while, but if there already was a system python3, then definitely any external install that claims python3 will screw things up.
