Client Installation / Update Failure on Fedora (Linux)

I have the newest fedora (26) updated from 25. I installed owncloud client on fedora 25. Several weeks after updating to fedora 26, my updates sopped working. I diagnosed the issue it was owncloud client upgrade blocking all system updates. I removed the owncloud client to allow system upgrade, but now I cannot install back the owncloud client.

$ sudo yum install -y owncloud-client

I managed to fix it with the following:

sudo yum remove libowncloudsync0

However it doesn't change fact owncloud repositories are very unreliable

I think the "unreliable" is originating from your repository setup which is mixing packages from your fedora distribution with the one of owncloud. You never will get a reliable setup with that.

AFAIK Fedora 26 now includes OwnCloud client in their own Repos. So, disable the previous OC repo, remove OwnCloud and install it from F26 standard Repos.
