**Update:**

(hopefully) solved by “downgrading” to 27.1.5.1 (without database or `data` directory) by

- restoring `$nextcloud-data-dir/updater-ocXXXXXXXXXX/backups/nextcloud-27.1.5.1-1706394934` over my `/var/www/nextcloud`
- and running `occ upgrade` afterwards.

Many double checks, backups and tests before and after that included made this freaking 27.1.6.2 update steal me **5 and a half hours** of my life time (instead of the usual 10 minutes for minor updates), making this the **worst update experience EVER**.

Because of this personal experience with a stable (!!!) release AND the fact that

- a) [[Bug]: Composer dependencies require a 64-bit build of PHP · Issue #43157 · nextcloud/server · GitHub](https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/43157) got absolutely no attention so far (only someone constantly minimizing comments, so watching but not responding/helping at all)
- b) this should have been discovered in the RC version ([RC4 of Nextcloud 28.0.2](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/rc4-of-nextcloud-28-0-2/179990)) already and
- c) likely there’ve been NO tests made with 32 bit systems which violates the promises made at [Update on 32-bit support: decision to block the update on Nextcloud 26 reverted](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/update-on-32-bit-support-decision-to-block-the-update-on-nextcloud-26-reverted/153345)

… I currently **can’t trust** Nextcloud('s update mechanisms) anymore. I don’t hope but expect others to run into this very same issue once the 27.1.6.2 or 28.0.2 update is performed by other 32 bit users. Have fun with that.

I’ll check back in a few weeks once [[Bug]: Composer dependencies require a 64-bit build of PHP · Issue #43157 · nextcloud/server · GitHub](https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/43157) is hopefully confirmed to be fixed in the 27 channel.
