Hey,

why is your system trying to install a version of the owncloud-client package which isn’t present on your configured repository?

Hi ktl ,

did you use www.owncloud.org ? there is the latest tested version and it is 2.5.1 .
i would recommend this version.
and to install it ,do please following steps :
wget -nv https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:ownCloud:desktop/Ubuntu_18.10/Release.key -O Release.key
sudo apt-key add - < Release.key
sudo apt-get update
sudo sh -c “echo ‘deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/desktop/Ubuntu_18.10/ /’ > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/isv:ownCloud:desktop.list”
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install owncloud-client

Hi @lazawan (and @ktl)

I see something similar (also (k)ubuntu 18.10) … I tried (there’s some history of uninstalling and so on before) the reinstall like you suggested here (remove all repos, apt-get update, wget Release.key, add key, …)

But, when finally installing the client, I see

$ sudo apt-get install owncloud-client

Somewhere it was recommended to install all the dependencies manually, so I tried:

$ sudo apt-get install owncloud-client libowncloudsync0 ocqt5101-libqt5core5a ocqt5101-libqt5dbus5 ocqt5101-libqt5gui5 ocqt5101-libqt5keychain1 ocqt5101-libqt5network5 ocqt5101-libqt5webkit5 ocqt5101-libqt5widgets5 ocqt5101-libqt5xml5 owncloud-client-l10n ocqt5101-libqt5sql5-sqlite

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Well, libc6 is in fact <=2.28 and not jet a newer one in sight.

Do you have a suggestion?

THX in advance

Hey,

if you have this version of libc6 installed you’re probably using Ubuntu 18.04 and not 18.10:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/libc6

and should use the 18.04 and not the 18.10 repositories.

THX, @tom42

you’re totally right, I mixed that up … I changed the deb to 18.04 and now everything is fine.
