Sounds like nextcloud/server#25137

[reekol]

Up. Same here - Nextcloud 20.0.5.

[snejball]

Looks like I am affected as well, also on Nextcloud 20.0.5 fresh installation

@ChristophWurst

Thank you for suggesting this, I applied the fix mentioned, but it seems to have no effect, unfortunately

PHP version: 7.3.19-1

Do all of you use a php version like that, e.g. with the hyphen at the end?

[gabviv73]

Fix applied, nothing changed.

Something interesting. After fresh install it does not appear. Few days later it's on the store. Changes i have made since then ( installation ) are to enable opcache and redis ( may not be relevant ).

[gabviv73]

Fresh installed 9 days ago, mail app never appeared.
I've enabled opcache too, not redis.

Just upgraded to 20.0.6 and now the mail app is listed ...

[ChristophWurst]

Looking at nextcloud/server@bedd9ac I think we now do version comparisons wrong. PHP's version_compare will return false for version_compare('7.4.14', '7.4', '<='). But if the app says it's compatible with 7.4 then 7.4.14 is totally fine. 7.4 shouldn't be expanded to 7.4.0. I'll see how we can fix this.

[ChristophWurst]

Patch is at nextcloud/server#25335. Please let me know if that helps.

[GuillaumeAmat]

@ChristophWurst It doesn't seem to do the job for me :/

[ChristophWurst]

@GuillaumeAmat any more info? Are you sure your server didn't just use a cached version of the filtered response? Check again now if my patch is still applied.

[GuillaumeAmat]

Oh you're right it's working now 👌 Thanks for the cache tip

[schmichri]

@ChristophWurst Sorry. But for the stupids like me. Mail App is still not listed on my 20.0.6 (dockerbased) installation. What cache do I have to reset?

I can't install it via occ either.

occ app:install mail
Error: Could not download app mail

[ChristophWurst]

did you apply the patch? if so, just wait an hour or so, I don't recall the cache TTL.

[ChristophWurst]

Instructions are at nextcloud/server#25335 (comment)

[schmichri]

thanks a lot! I just understood a patch command. Love it!

[Javihache]

how do we patch for docker installations?

[schmichri]

I've done it inside the running container something like this:

docker exec -it -u www-data nextcloud_app_1   wget https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/nextcloud/server/pull/25335.patch
docker exec -it -u www-data nextcloud_app_1  patch -p1 < 25335.patch
