When I attempt to upgrade my existing Nextcloud 27.0.2 (working fine) with Nextcloud 27.1.3, the upgrade fails.
The error is:
Error: Access to undeclared static property OC::$VERSION_MTIME in /srv/nextcloud/html/lib/private/legacy/OC_Util.php:331
$ php /srv/nextcloud/html/occ upgrade --no-interaction

Nextcloud version: Upgrade from 27.0.2 → 27.1.3
Operating system and version: Debian GNU+Linux 11.7
Apache version: 2.4.57
PHP version: 8.2.7
I have tried this with every version from 27.1.3, backward (27.1.2, 27.1.1, 27.1.0) and all failed as described above. The upgrade succeeded only when I went back to Nextcloud version 27.0.2.
How do I ensure the php occ upgrade command will succeed when upgrading across minor release?
