Description

@csolisr

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

  • This is not a troubleshooting question, general support matter, or webserver/proxy problem, but likely a bug (if unsure, ask the Community Help Forum).
  • This issue is not already reported on Github OR solved at the Community Help Forum (I've searched!).
  • I'm using a maintained major version of Nextcloud Server and tested against the latest patch level. (Supported major versions and current patch levels).
  • I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
  • I've tried my best to provide clear reproduction steps that someone unfamiliar with this bug could use to reproduce it.

Bug description

For the last few versions, Nextcloud has been constantly spamming the same three lines in the log (see below). Functionality seems correct, but I can't find how to correct the issue shown on the log, since the files module is core to Nextcloud and cannot be disabled.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Run Nextcloud 34.
  2. Sync some files using the desktop server.
  3. Check the logs.

Expected behavior

The functionality should not be constantly reporting a deprecated exception.

Nextcloud Server version

34

Operating system

Debian/Ubuntu

PHP engine version

PHP 8.5

Web server

Nginx

Database engine version

MariaDB

Is this bug present after an update or on a fresh install?

Updated from a MINOR version (ex. 32.0.1 to 32.0.2)

Are you using the Nextcloud Server Encryption module?

None

What user-backends are you using?

Additional info

Installed via YunoHost. Integrity checks are disabled by default, as YNH seems to require patching the Login Controller. Not sure if it's related to this issue though, as the problem only started occurring after the update to version 34.
