I have removed /var/www/owncloud so the possibility of an upgrade is
lost. My fault.
However, I don't think your instructions work. For instance, in
https://doc.owncloud.org/server/9.0/admin_manual/maintenance/manual_upgrade.html
when you run step 10 (sudo -u apache php occ upgrade) you will get an
error message saying that you can't update multiple versions at a time.
Unless I'm missing something, this is a deadlock situation which
requires serious hacking to solve.
It doesn't matter if you use a package manager or not to install
ownCloud. When I upgrade the OS, I had an older version of OC. Even if I
use the tarball for that version of OC, that package will *not* include
php5. So the binaries will require php5. But php5 does not exist in
Ubuntu 16.04. The private repo from Ondrej provides php5.6 (not php5)
which does not solve the problem.
So, you can never run the older version of OC unless you hack in seriously.
On the other hand, installing the latest version is easy, but you can't
*manually* upgrade multiple versions at a time.
So, where is the fault of my reasoning in my explanation above? I thank
for the links you provided but if you only point me to links it's harder
to find what's wrong. And I've followed those links and tried those
steps. Please pinpoint the fault in my reasoning.
I don't think the possibility of OS release upgrade was considered by OC
developers.
Thanks for the support.
I'm now trying to install the latest version of OC, create the users
again, and then copy the contents of the backed-up <user>/files/ to the
empty directory in the new installation.

Hi. I cannot install the old version because it depends on php5.
Ubuntu does not have php5. Therefore I cannot upgrade a single step.
- manually per instructions at

Hi,
as written by Victor you can do the manual upgrades like described
in the
documentation up to your current version. There you won't have any
dependency issues.
