Hi Andreas,

Thank you for the bug report.  The recent upload of commons-io [1]
included this change to its POM:

+  <dependencyManagement>
+    <dependencies>
+      <dependency>
+        <groupId>org.junit</groupId>
+        <artifactId>junit-bom</artifactId>
+        <version>5.7.2</version>
+        <type>pom</type>
+        <scope>import</scope>
+      </dependency>
+    </dependencies>
+  </dependencyManagement>

This, in turn, causes Gradle to look for junit5 during the build of
syncany.  I'm not certain that this build dependency should transitively
leak into projects that have build dependencies on commons-io, but
syncany builds again after adding junit5 to the build-deps, so the fix
is quite simple.

I will freshen a few other things in the package and upload later today.

Cheers,
tony
