I cannot find any clear instructions as how to upgrade - I only see instructions to install. The client settings tells me about the new version and says that I should ‘use the system’s update tool to install it’.
I have been using Ubuntu since 12.04 but this defeats me. Why not include UPDATE instructions on the same page as the INSTALL instructions??
and then sudo apt upgrade finishes with:
The following packages have been kept back:
owncloud-client-l10n
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 1 not to upgrade.
I tried:
sudo apt-get install owncloud-client-l10n
which produces:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
owncloud-client-l10n : Depends: owncloud-client (>= 2.4.3+oc-10035) but 2.4.1-9083 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Not sure why your apt insists on keeping the 2.4.1 version of owncloud-client-l10n – this is one of the subpackages of owncloud-client that just should have exactly the same version number as owncloud-client itself.
Maybe you got a bad download mirror where owncloud-client-l10n was not available for the 2.4.3 update.
I am doing the update just fine:
apt-get install owncloud-client-l10n

To answer the question about upgrade instructions:
Both apt-get update and apt-get upgrade are something different. They cannot upgrade a package. When you want to upgrade a package, you have to use apt-get install packagename – not exactly intuitive, but that is as it is defined in the debian world.
For packaging that means, that it is always the same command, for both fresh install and upgrade. It simply has to work in both cases. If it does not, we need to find ways to make it work, but documenting a different comand for upgrades does not do the trick.
