Hi I try to install owncloud on my Ubuntu 20.10 but when I run sudo apt install owncloud-client I get the following error

Reading package lists… Done

Did you install using this instructions?

yes, as suggested by my university website

First, I thought it might be because of 20.04 so I upgraded to 20.10 but still the same issue persisted

I was not able to reproduce in a clean Docker:

docker run --rm -ti ubuntu:20.04

I used the commands from the instructions page:

root@c6d3a3dc9059:/# history
    1  apt update && apt install curl wget sudo gnupg -y
    2  wget -nv https://download.owncloud.com/desktop/ownCloud/stable/latest/linux/Ubuntu_20.04/Release.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -
    3  echo 'deb https://download.owncloud.com/desktop/ownCloud/stable/latest/linux/Ubuntu_20.04/ /' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud.list
    4  sudo apt update
    5  sudo apt install owncloud-client
    6  owncloudcmd --version
    7  history

Success:
