I am running Linux Mint 19 (aka Ubuntu) and I am trying to install the desktop client for ownCloud but I keep getting this error and I am not sure what to do to fix it. Any help?

@schworak what are the exact steps you tried? exact repo did you use?

It turned out to be an issue with the fact that Mint is 1 LTS behind Ubuntu. So I had to use the http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/desktop/Ubuntu_18.04/ instead of http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/ownCloud:/desktop/Ubuntu_19.04/

Once I realized that Mint was behind Ubuntu, I was able to update the repository list and it installed just fine. :slight_smile:
