[emmenlau]

Steps to reproduce

1. echo 'deb http://download.owncloud.org/download/repositories/8.2/Ubuntu_16.04/ /'| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud.list
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install --force-yes owncloud=8.2.5-1.1 owncloud-server=8.2.5-1.1
   

   Expected behaviour

owncloud 8.2 should get installed.

Actual behaviour

owncloud 8.2 can not be installed.

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

@emmenlau ubuntu 16.04 doesn't provide php5 it uses php7 version 9 works.

@jnweiger we need to use php7 instead of php5 dependencies. Ps. can verify the missing dependencies from above....

[emmenlau]

It would be awesome if you could make a php7 release of 8.2 for Ubuntu 16.04. Highly appreciated!
Note that mysql was also updated by a minor version.

@emmenlau please try instead:

sudo apt-get install owncloud-files

This package installs the complete owncloud code, but without any dependencies.
So you need to look after the required php7 deps yourself. Would that work for you?

[emmenlau]

Perfect, this solves the issue for me! I did:

sudo apt-get install owncloud-files=8.2.5-1.1 owncloud-deps-php7.0

and could upgrade owncloud from 8.1 to 8.2 without problems. Then it was easy to install 9.0:

sudo apt-get install owncloud

and finally upgrade the database to 9.0. Thanks!
