Hi Mark,

The package may need a dependency against php-mdb2-driver-mysql (>=
1.5.0b4-1), can you please confirm the install goes smoothly with a more
recent php-mdb2-driver-mysql package?

Furthermore, there are security issues with this owncloud version, and
some of its dependencies currently in backports, so I can only encourage
upgrading the (backports’) packages ASAP (or remove them from backports if
that’s not sustainable).

Regards

David
