Hey, the version 1.6.4+dfsg-1 of owncloud client can't interact with owncloud server > 8.1 [#791721]. This versionnumber 1.7.0~beta1+really1.6.4+dfsg-1 is created by acident. It is simply the upstream version 1.6.4. The prefix is only needed, becuase one time 1.7.0~beta1 was push to unstable instead of experimental. The problem is so far that upstream server checks the version of the client and disallows the connection with an older client (< 1.7). Upstream says, that they do it, because the older client is very unstable und not reliable. It is so far possible to disable this feature on the server. As far as I see different solutions to improve: * Either we say, okay client+server from stable works together and do nothing. * Mention the needed change in the stable package. * Ship a new version via stable * Ship a version in backports, you only need the client when a new server is used. I think the best UX would be shipping the new client to stable, but I want to hear yout opition about this issue. So far as I looked at the code it is very hard to extract a subset to cherrypick, there were overall improvments were made. I didn't prepare anything for the request so far, because I want to wait, till I know what possibilities you see. For sure we have to rebuild owncloud-client another time with qt4 for stable. Because qt5 shipped in stable is not current enough.
