[Bug]: instance was upgraded to 28.0.6 -- now offers 29.0.1 but fails to upgrade

[cmigliorini]

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

• This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
• This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
• Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
• I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.

Bug description

• My NextCloud instance was up to date at 28.0.5
• the updater offered yesterday 2024-05-23 to upgrade to 28.0.6 -- worked like a charm,
• now the updated offers to upgrade to 29.0.1, but immediately says it's complete

Problem: neither version is officially out

Steps to reproduce

1. use the updater to upgrade to 28.0.6
2. accept updater's offer to upgrade to 29.0.1

Expected behavior

• Updater should not have offered 28.0.6.
• Updater should not offer 29.0.1, or it should install it

Hmmm, the updater config looks alright 🤔
https://github.com/nextcloud-releases/updater_server/blob/ce0a029e03784eee47fc53b1cf3342d421dd5825/config/config.php#L111-L142

Upgrading right now, let's see... ⌛

[skjnldsv]

Can't reproduce, being on 29.0.1 doesn't give me any new update.

Nextcloud Updater - version: v29.0.0-1-g9293bcb dirty

Current version is 29.0.1.
No update available.
Nothing to do.

[cmigliorini]

I was perhaps not clear.

• I am on 28.0.6
• I'm proposed to upgrade to 29.0.1
• when I click on "Open Updater', I immediately get the following screen

• when I click on "Continue update", I'm sent back to home screen.

So it's 28.0.6 issue (which was not officially available in GitHub at the time it was suggested then installed by the updated)

Suggest reopening (I'm willing to provide more details)

[cmigliorini]

Alternatively, this might be considered an issue with 28.0.5 which updated to 28.0.6 although this version does not seem to be generally available (this is a screenshot taken a minute ago on the Nextcloud page)

[creopard]

@cmigliorini I just went the same upgrade path as you did: from 28.0.5 -> 28.0.6 -> 29.0.1
and it worked flawlessly.

However, I'm not on PHP 8.1 as in your setup, but on PHP 8.3. And instead on PostgreSQL, I'm on MariaDB.

* when I click on "Continue update", I'm sent back to home screen.

When I click on "Continue update", I'm greeted with the expected update screen and the installation finishes successfully:

[cmigliorini]

did not realize PHP 8.1 was deprecated.. Tried 8.2 then 8.3 with no luck. Guess damage was done before -- unless it's Postgres... Don't want to go that route though. I'm not totally opposed to a manual upgrade but concerned it might fail as long as I don't understand what's really happening
