Sorry, but this advice is terribly wrong.
rm -r ~/.unison
This will not only delete *all* and not just the synchronization states,
that cause trouble, it will furthermore delete all config files and
includes.
So don't do that.

Unison does not support syncing between two different versions. Hence,
syncing across different ubuntu releases this problem will necessarily
occur unless they contain many unison versions in the future.
Workaround:
1) On both machines delete the unison cache:
rm -r ~/.unison
2) Make sure no ve
To make it work, I had also to replace unison-gtk, not only unison. So,
what finally helped was:

@christos pontikis (pontikis) this saved my day, thanks!
As a small improvement: you do not need to remove all cache, just the
fp* files that have been created after you started using the new
version.
I think that this is the kind of software that would benefit greatly the

Hello, same problem here.
It seems that @Helge Meinhard workaround WORKS. Thanks!
In my case:
Workstation: Xubuntu Focal 20.04 LTS
Laptop.: Xubuntu Bionic 18.04 LTS
Server.: Debian 10 Buster

I didn't uninstall unison unison-all unison-all-gtk from Focal

I copied the binaries

So I also found a workaround that works for me so far. It is also
downgrading to the bionic versions.
First of all, I downloaded the packages from bionic and installed them
manually (only unison and unison-all, though) as suggested by Sebastien
Koechlin and Helge Meinhard said. Then, I created a f
Thank you very much for providing the links.
Unfortunately it didn't do the trick. Now the error message is:

Instead of recompiling, I downgraded unison and unison-gtk with Bionic
Beaver packages. There is no dependency issues.

Same issue here. Two machines upgraded to Focal. unison version is
2.48.4 on both machines. Yet I get the error message as in the bug
description. For recompiling the packages I need some advice how to do
that.

@helge-meinhard - could you please specify what cache file(s) you
removed and whether it was client or server side or both?
Unison creates numerous cache files in $HOME/.unison/ but their specific

In fact, further investigation shows that the binary built with the
OCamL 4.05 compiler is working fine. The error message quoted in my
previous post is obviously caused by a cache file corrupted by
previously running the binary from deb (compiled with OCamL 4.08).

I tried to narrow down the problem by re-building unison with OCamL 4.05
on my Focal (20.04) client (no ocaml deb package installed):
- Downloaded OCamL 4.05.0, ran make and make install
$ which ocamlopt

possibly because client and server have been compiled with differentversions of

FWIW, Bionic ships OCamL 4.05, Focal 4.08.

This is also a problem between Ubuntu LTS versions.

Note that this is related to #1568459. But this time it can be fixed by
using the same unison version but compiling it with a different OCaml.
