Hey,

it looks to me that you are trying to use the Linux Mint 19 repositories which are based on Ubuntu Bionic (18.04) on a Linux Mint 18 installation which is based on Ubuntu Xenial (16.04).

I’m not that familiar with Ubuntu but i think using 18.04 based repositories on a 16.04 installation will never work due to huge differences in the 2 years between both releases.

I think you need to upgrade your system to Linux Mint 19 so that you can use the ownCloud repositories for Linux Mint 19.
