The issue you are facing:
When updating through the web interface, the update stopped at the first step, with an error: /dist folder.
Repeated attempts to update ended with the same error.
After deleting the /nextcloud/distr folder in the terminal, the update went through normally.
Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y
Steps to replicate it:
- run the update in the web interface from version 24.0.4.1 to 24.0.5.1
