Update error from 31.0.5 to 31.0.6 on Check for Expected Files

[adrianwi]

Hello!

I’ve not seen the updater stop here before, and the error message isn’t really helping me find the problem.

I’ve checked the updater.log file, and that’s referring to the index.php file, but I’ve renamed that and the updater doesn’t even load, so it clearly needs that file.

It was being more helpful than I thought! There was actually a file called “(null)” in the /nextcloud directory, which once removed enabled me to run the update. Not sure where or how it got there, but sorted now.
