Nextcloud won’t update on KDE Neon to 3.1.0 because of qtbase-abi-5-12-8, which doesn’t exist.
Any idea how to fix this?

After some exploring, qtbase-abi-5-12-8 is normally supplied by libqt5core5a but this is already installed in Neon by default. Neon’s current version as of this post is 5.15.2+dfsg-0xneon+20.04+focal+build23 which suggests that the Nextcloud package is not finding qtbase-abi when it is using a newer version than qtbase-abi-5-12-8.
I’m guessing that the qtbase-abi version is in someway hardcoded?
While it isn’t the latest version, current versions can be installed in Neon with:
pkcon install dolphin-nextcloud
Unfortunately, dolphin-nextcloud depends on nextcloud-desktop so that’s a no-go.
As another option, Flathub has version 3.0.2 as of this writing.
But we loose file manager integration with the AppImage / Flatpack / Snap, right? Is there a way around it?
Right now, I just have mine on hold. Hopefully this gets resolved.
I’m still running into this, KDE neon 5.21 and the official Nextcloud repository. Only solution I’ve found is to download the deb sources and build the debs myself.
Am on Neon, too. Found this solution building a fake qtbase-abi package to fit my needs: PPA install: Dependency resolution issue on KDE neon 20.04 regarding QT 5.15.2 · Issue #2722 · nextcloud/desktop · GitHub
nextcloud-desktop installable afterwords and works perfectly…

Perhaps we can try the nextcloud version for Hirsute from this PPA Desktop client : “Nextcloud development” team . Ubuntu 21.04 has Qt 5.12.2, the same as Neon focal
Any brave person with time want to try it?
I suggest not to do that.
The package libnextcloudsync0 depends on v2.33 of libc6 which isn’t available on Focal (it’s on 2.31).
I decided to compile from source, and I have to reconfigure my sync settings. wouldn’t load, otherwise.
Trying to compile 3.3.1 from the Nextcloud PPA, but it wouldn’t work:

I tried to see what I’m missing, and it here’s what it says:

I’m able to compile if I use cmake and make only, not with apt source --compile. However, I’m confused as to why there are 2 locations for Nextcloud: /opt/nextcloud (the location I wanted it installed to), and ~/nextcloud-desktop-client
Here’s what each directory contains:
-
/opt/nextcloud:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 15 02:06 bin/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 15 02:06 lib/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 15 02:06 share/
-
~/nextcloud-desktop-client:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 15 02:06 etc/
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 15 02:06 include/
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Aug 15 02:06 share/
I still have ~/.config/Nextcloud, and I know that the client’s config is from that directory, so I’m not sure why the one in home exists.
Edit: not sure what changed on Nextcloud or Neon’s side, but I am now able to compile with apt source --compile again.
