Expected behaviour

Being able to update the package nextcloud-desktop in version 3.1.0 from the “Nextcloud development” team PPA at https://launchpad.net/~nextcloud-devs/+archive/ubuntu/client on a KDE neon 20.04 system.

Actual behaviour

Attempting to update the package nextcloud-dekstop on KDE neon 20.04 resultet in a dependency resolution issue:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 nextcloud-desktop : Depends: qtbase-abi-5-12-8

Steps to reproduce

On a current KDE neon 20.04
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nextcloud-desktop

Client configuration

Client version: 3.1.0

Operating system: KDE neon 20.04

OS language: english

Qt version used by client package (Linux only, see also Settings dialog): 5.15.2

Duplicate of #2711 ?

bovender · 2020-12-16T09:39:42Z

Same here, this morning's system upgrade left me without a Nextcloud desktop client on my workhorse :-(

Operating System: KDE neon 5.20

Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.4.0-58-generic

@er-vin sorry for the noise, #2722 can be closed as a duplicate of #2711

er-vin · 2020-12-16T18:03:05Z

Alright, closing as duplicate of #2711 then.

TimJay · 2020-12-17T13:43:41Z

As a brief summary a quote from #2711:
"So this means that the PPA does not support KDE Neon, only standard Ubuntu and those derivates that do not perform such incompatible alterations." @ivaradi

Which I think is reasonable considering the nature of KDE neon.
I guess for the time being, AppImage will have to do.

avatar1024 · 2021-01-12T08:34:07Z

This issue with the AppImage is that there is no inegration with file manager (say Dolphin). Is there a way around it?

itsjustarumour · 2021-01-23T06:17:21Z

This issue report has been closed as a duplicate of #2711, however a later comment on #2711 says that is a separate issue and therefore it's not a duplicate of this issue #2722 (and #2711 has now been closed).

Can #2722 therefore be re-opened? This issue still exists on KDE Neon 20.04, and installing the AppImage isn't a workable solution for some people due (as avatar1024 says) to the lack of integration with the Dolphin file manager.

Let's summon @ivaradi is it something we can and are willing to support? I honestly doubt this can fly properly and it's likely that KDE Neon needs to package Nextcloud themselves.

ivaradi · 2021-01-25T10:33:31Z

I don't think this can be reasonably supported. Unless KDE Neon has some packaging service, like Launchpad, where we could easily upload our source packages to have it built with the correct Qt package versions.

qtbase-abi is just a virtual package for libqt5core5a which is provided On Neon
https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/qtbase-abi-5-12-8
Is it not possible to use directly libqt5core5a as dependence.

Flatpak or AppImage system integration are a bit limited for this kind of application so I revert and stick to previous version provided by official focal repo.

sudo apt install nextcloud-desktop=2.6.2-1build1 libnextcloudsync0=2.6.2-1build1
sudo apt-mark hold nextcloud-desktop libnextcloudsync0

You mean the official ubuntu 20.04 repositories?

cypx · 2021-02-18T21:09:29Z

Yes but since I tried to rebuild package from source and it's work well

echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/nextcloud-devs/client/ubuntu focal main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nextcloud-devs-ubuntu-client-focal-src.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt build-dep nextcloud-desktop
cd /tmp
apt source --compile nextcloud-desktop
sudo apt install ./nextcloud-desktop_3.1.3-20210218.151938.3842d306f-1.0~focal1_amd64.deb

kcybulski · 2021-02-21T07:28:45Z

I created a package, to fix missing dependency.
Use on your own responsibility

Save below into abifix.sh

#!/bin/bash

$(mkdir -p ./qtbase-abi-5-12-8-fix/DEBIAN)
echo 'Package: qtbase-abi-5-12-8-fix
Version: 1.0
Section: custom
Priority: optional
Provides: qtbase-abi-5-12-8
Depends: libqt5core5a
Architecture: amd64
Essential: no
Installed-Size: 0
Maintainer: custom
Description: Fix lack of qtbase-abi-5-12-8 in KDE Neon
' > ./qtbase-abi-5-12-8-fix/DEBIAN/control

$(dpkg-deb --build ./qtbase-abi-5-12-8-fix)

To install use sudo dpkg -i ./qtbase-abi-5-12-8-fix.deb in console.

cyBea · 2021-12-03T10:21:08Z

I love the fix by @kcybulski but I needed to remove "$(" and ")" in line 17 like so:

#!/bin/bash

$(mkdir -p ./qtbase-abi-5-12-8-fix/DEBIAN)
echo 'Package: qtbase-abi-5-12-8-fix
Version: 1.0
Section: custom

' > ./qtbase-abi-5-12-8-fix/DEBIAN/control

dpkg-deb --build ./qtbase-abi-5-12-8-fix

Also I wonder why this cannot be fixed by different packaging / dependency definition but needs a dummy package.

wonx · 2022-04-06T05:01:38Z

For Kubuntu 22.04 the script has to be modified, since now it requires qtbase-abi-5-15-2

It should be like this:

#!/bin/bash

$(mkdir -p ./qtbase-abi-5-15-2-fix/DEBIAN)
echo 'Package: qtbase-abi-5-15-2-fix
Version: 1.0
Section: custom
Priority: optional
Provides: qtbase-abi-5-15-2
Depends: libqt5core5a
Architecture: amd64
Essential: no
Installed-Size: 0
Maintainer: custom
Description: Fix lack of qtbase-abi-5-15-2 in KDE Neon
' > ./qtbase-abi-5-15-2-fix/DEBIAN/control

dpkg-deb --build ./qtbase-abi-5-15-2-fix

Then just save it as an .sh file, run it, and finally:
sudo dpkg -i ./qtbase-abi-5-15-2-fix.deb

I don't get why it hasn't been fixed yet...

Using this hack the "Main Dialog" is not shown anymore in kde-neon (with version based on ubuntu 20.04)

cyBea · 2022-12-11T15:54:39Z

Hi there! In lack of knowing a better place to post this:
I updated to kde-neon based on ubuntu 22.04 and the ugly + lucky "fix" works again:

repo:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nextcloud-client.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nextcloud-devs/client/ubuntu jammy main

script:

cat bin/nextcloud-desktop-dependency-workaround.sh 
#!/bin/bash

$(mkdir -p ./qtbase-abi-5-15-3-fix/DEBIAN)
echo 'Package: qtbase-abi-5-15-3-fix
Version: 1.0
Section: custom
Priority: optional
Provides: qtbase-abi-5-15-3
Depends: libqt5core5a
Architecture: amd64
Essential: no
Installed-Size: 0
Maintainer: custom
Description: Fix lack of qtbase-abi-5-15-3 in KDE Neon
' > ./qtbase-abi-5-15-3-fix/DEBIAN/control

dpkg-deb --build ./qtbase-abi-5-15-3-fix

create dummy-package:

bash bin/nextcloud-desktop-dependency-workaround.sh

installation:

sudo apt install ./qtbase-abi-5-15-3-fix.deb
sudo apt install dolphin-nextcloud

At a first glance everything seems to work (main-menu, settings window, dolphin file context menu). 😅️ But this will probably break again at some point 😪️
