[SOLVED] [mga5] Owncloud client v1.8.3 is too old for Nextcl

[mzurhorst]

Hello,

I was running an owncloud service on my private webspace since 2 years. During summer, I switched over to the Nextcloud fork in the hope of a better community support.
With Nextcloud server versions 9 and 10, the old Owncloud client (version 1.8.3 shipped with mga5) could still connect.
But when I have been doing the upgrade to Nextcloud 11.0.0 two days ago, I saw that my Mageia Laptop does not replicate the cloud data any longer.

The error message is:
"Error downloading https://Nextcloud-URL/remote.php/webdav/ - server replied: Forbidden (Unsupported client version)"

I filed a bug in the Bugzilla [1], but I am not even sure if this is a valid bug report.
I see that Cauldron contains the Nextcloud client instead of Owncloud client, but it seems to early to upgrade the entire distro to Cauldron.

Is there any hint how I could use the particular Cauldron packages and stay with the rest in Mageia 5 status?
---- I recall that enabling the Cauldron sources would typically require to update the rpm packages first, which may come along with a lot of further things in a chain reaction.

What are my options?

Thanks a lot.

Best regards,
Marcus

Basically you can't, except for a few packages which don't contain any compiled stuff, or don't rely on any specific library versions newer then in mga5.

What are my options?

Basically the only thing you can do is to grab the src.rpm from cauldron for the package you want, and rebuilt it on your mga5 box. But that also includes backporting of any libraries of which newer versions compared to mga5 are required.

Have you tried Owncloud client (version 2.2.4) from Mageia5 backports?

[mzurhorst]

Hi Ken,

thanks a lot for the hint with the backports.
I did not have them in mind, and the 2.2.4 owncloud client works great.

Thanks a lot!

Kind regards,
Marcus

Hi!

I have the same problem but tried to upgrade to 2.x without success.
Did added backports repositories but the version I have it's 2.1, not 2.4 (Mageia 5)

Versión: 2.1.0-1.mga5
Grupo: Archivado/Respaldo
Arquitectura: x86_64
Tamaño: 4693 KB
Medio: Core Backports Testing

- lib64ocsync2-2.1.0-1.mga5.x86_64
- lib64owncloudsync2-2.1.0-1.mga5.x86_64
- owncloud-client-2.1.0-1.mga5.x86_64

and when I try to apply changes in order to install I got an '...falló la recuperación: aria2 falló: salió con 3' error (more or less: 'recovery failed. aria2 failed: exited with 3').

Any hint?

Best disable those again: Core Backports Debug and Core Backports Testing
And what is the output as root of

Code: Select all

urpmi.update -a
urpmi owncloud-client

[c0legota]

It worked, thanks a lot!

While I'm not sure what was the problem. I did added core backports repository after read this thread, and gives the error, then added backports Debug and Testing just to check.
Seems as if I need to update manually after add a repository but I believed that was automatic.

And the client it's running and compatible with Nextcloud 11.

Yes.

We put the updates of ownCloud client in backports so it is not updated like normal updates - because it is not fully compatible and update may make it stop working.
