Really?

After adding experimental to a stable (Bullseye) system, I ran:

--------------------------------------------------
root at amanda:~# apt-get -t experimental install owncloud-client-cmd
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
The following additional packages will be installed:
  libdouble-conversion3 libmd4c0 libowncloudsync0 libqt5core5a

  libqt5sql5-sqlite libqt5svg5 libqt5widgets5 libxcb-icccm4

  owncloud-client-l10n qt5-gtk-platformtheme qttranslations5-l10n
Suggested packages:
  qt5-image-formats-plugins qtwayland5

...

--------------------------------------------------

Even if the code is fine, the list of dependencies is unacceptable.

After installing anyway, I ran:

--------------------------------------------------
charles at amanda:~$ /usr/bin/owncloudcmd --user charles --password <obfuscated> /home/charles/nextcloud https://nextcloud.localdomain/nextcloud

<much cruft omitted.>

charles at amanda:~$
--------------------------------------------------

So I copied in an old copy of ~/.local/share/data/ownCloud. Then ran the same command line again.

--------------------------------------------------

charles at amanda:~$
--------------------------------------------------

This is running against a server Nextcloud 22.2.0. So it is possible
that divergence between the server and client have made it impossible
for me to test.

Does anybody read signatures any more?
