[Pkg-owncloud-maintainers] Bug#788489: Bug#788489: owncloud-client: Owncloud won't install can't find libocsync0

[David Prévot]

Hi Guillaume,

Thank you for your quick reply.

>>> Package: owncloud-client
>>> Version: current version

> Version: 1.5.0+dfsg-4~bpo70+1
>
> That is the backport version.

>From http://backports.debian.org/FAQ/:

“Q: Where shall I report bugs I found in packages from backports to?

A: Please report them to the debian-backports mailinglist. The Debian
bugtracking system doesn't know anything about backports versions, and
sometimes the backporter isn't in the Debian packaging team so they might
miss the report.”

No idea who uploaded the package to backports, maybe Sandro knows or was
involved, so keeping the bug open for now if the people in charge are
willing to follow up there, and also keeping the following context for
backports list benefit.
