Q: What are these files “COPYING”? Are they folders? I haven’t looked into my backup, but if they might have existed in 14.0.3, could they simply be restored?

2

I have also an error with the updater:

The following extra files have been found:
* .rnd

Why? Could be fixed?

3

Just checked in backup:

  • File nextcloud/core/COPYING does not exist in any prior to 14.0.4 backup
  • Folder nextcloud/gallery does not exist, so nextcloud/gallery/COPYING also not

bug?

What are the links they refer to in order to try and fix it? Did you get any instruction on what command to run maybe? Under Settings > Overview maybe?

@Starfish: The “usual suspects” link: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/14/admin_manual/issues/code_signing.html.

Checked in the signature.json, fragment appended for “core”:

    "3rdparty\/symfony\/translation\/phpunit.xml.dist": "b18258c9e153b53047724f30886f3ba87974ba87187542b076f605819ecd5ab8d3b2084edb5f672b5a32f220b6eceb92d50ba453e95d7bdb3c575f80c411e4a3",

COPYING seems to be a completely information-only, technically not relevant file. But why is it missing, maybe an OpenSuse /distro specific issue? But afaik the OpenSuse packages for nextcloud, which usually arrive same day or the day after a nextcloud announcement, are just a wrapper for the nextcloud updater itself. The OpenSuse contributors for sure have no time to reinvent the wheel, at least not in just one day :slight_smile:

And I checked the current new-installation download file nextcloud-14.0.4.zip:

signature.json is identical, at least for core/COPYING.
And core/COPYING is NOT contained in ZIP

Bug? If so, I’ll open up an Github issue, repo “updater”?

Have you had a look at integrity check with occ? Sorry if you have already, but I am thinking of doing the basics first and see what we can get from that.

How did you upgrade? Via web updater for NC or through an OpenSuse channel?

SOLVED:

File nextcloud/COPYING is “missing” when doing an upgrade OpenSuse upgrade, and probably also a new installation.

This files is copied by OpenSuse’s installer (zypper/rpm/yast) to/as /usr/share/licenses/nextcloud/COPYING

SOLUTION/WORKAROUND:
Adding a symbolic link for /usr/share/licenses/nextcloud/COPYING to nextcloud’s root directory. Solves both issues, as within nextcloud/apps/gallery already a symlink to …/…/COPYING existed. Which, of course, was broken.

Thank you, @Starfish !!!

No worries! Congrats on solving it!

Had the same issue.

Just delete the .rnd file located on your installation and run again the online updater.
