Dear Jean-Pierre,

No luck so far, I hope I provide the needed debug information as if:

# the file test, syslog and streams generation:
http://paste.debian.net/plainh/d495e075

# the stream.data.full.00120000.00010000.gz file:
https://powermail.nu/nextcloud/index.php/s/OA0iRf9yKYkc5IL

# the stream.data.full.00140000.00010000.gz file:
https://powermail.nu/nextcloud/index.php/s/tFtwjctpQ4rTzoD

Thank you for your help! Really hope to get this working right.

Kind regards,

Jelle de Jong
