Updater from 13.0.5 fails on missing target version 14.0.13

[StefanGerl]

Steps to reproduce
Updating Nextcloud from 13.0.5 to 14.0.13 using the web updater
Expected behaviour
The update should run through automatically without errors.

Actual behaviour
Verifying integrity
Download failed - Not Found (HTTP 404) - URL: https://download.nextcloud.com/server/releases/nextcloud-14.0.13.zip

And there really is no file for 14.0.13. I looked into the sources and it seems like the version 14.0.13 is returned by an update server.

+1 - Same issue here. Upgrading from 13.0.0 to 14.0.13.

I'm trying to figure out what provides the pointer to the newest version available. If we can override that, we can point it to 14.0.12, which does exist.

I found where the version displayed on /index.php/settings/admin comes from. It's held in the database: oc_appconfig table, held in the lastupdateResult configkey record. However, don't bother changing it to a version where a download exists. Upon clicking on "open updater" it would appear that it phones home and then grabs the latest version anyway, which would then point it back to 14.0.13. Sigh.

Same issue here. Download still missing.

Same problem exactly. nextcloud-14.0.12.zip file is there but not nextcloud-14.0.13.zip. We should wait for it ?

[StefanGerl]

You could edit the updater/index.php file and hardcode the link to 14.0.12 to the "downloader method", and also add a early return true to the "validation method" which is checking a hash, retrieved from update server, corresponding to 14.0.13, and so will fail otherwise, and than remove that code after update. But that is a really dirty workaround solution.

I guess it is very easy for nextcloud people to fix the "update" server which is returning version 14.0.13 and its hash, to just return the same for 14.0.12?

[StefanGerl]

... or to upload 14.0.13 if it is an existing version. But I guess there would be more bug reports if a official release download is missing on the official download server? I guess its more that the update server returns a wrong version for version 13 updater?

Are all having this issue trying to upgrade from a nextcloud major version 13?

You can't. For some reason nextcloud 14.0.13 is not uploaded yet but announced by the updater. This might be a technical problem or the update is delayed for some reason (e.g. some problems with instances). I recommend you to postpone the update for the moment.

What happens when I upgrade manually to 14.0.12 is an update to 15 possible?

... yes

It is uploaded, but in the prereleases folder... https://download.nextcloud.com/server/prereleases/
