bug#51114: Owncloud client error message

[Cayetano Santos]

Context:

Using guix as a package manager under a foreign, up to date 
archlinux distribution.

Problem:

When I install owncloud-client, and provide the log in 
credentials, I get a message

  "could not read system exclude file"

I have to notice that, when I’m using archlinux provided package, 
all works as expected.

Thanks,

The file in question appears to be installed into
$PREFIX/etc/ownCloud/sync-exclude.lst, but owncloud appears to
construct this name somewhat weirdly, (see src/libsync/configfile.cpp)

I'd hazard a guess, that the line
  fi.setFile(QStringLiteral(SYSCONFDIR "/%1").arg(Theme::instance()-
>appName()), exclFile);
produces a wrong directory.  One could probably check via strace.

Cheers

Hi Cayetano,

this should be fixed in the current version of owncloud-client.  See
also https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47672 and
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/51117.

Best
Daniel
