Cannot upgrade to version 16.0.0 (RuntimeException: A handler is already registered for user)

🚧 Installation
1

Hello,
I like to upgrade my nextcloud installation from 15.0.5 to 16.0.0.

When I run the command “php ./occ upgrade” I get the following massages:

nginx@server /var/www/xxx/htdocs/nextcloud $ php ./occ -vvvv upgrade
Nextcloud or one of the apps require upgrade - only a limited number of commands are available
You may use your browser or the occ upgrade command to do the upgrade

I solved it by disabling the files_external app before upgrade.

Every-times an update is possible, it is better to update with a maximum of your apps disable !
