Hello!

I've found it out, how you can solve/work around the problem:

Nextcloud needs MariaDB. It won't work (so it seems) with MySQL. So mariadb-
server needs to be installed.

This replaces MySQL (mysql-server-core-5.7 and mysql-client-core-5.7) with
MariaDB. The problem is that after that, Akonadi won't start any longer.
"aconadictl start" outputs a lot of messages.

The problem can be repaired by doing this, after the installation of MariaDB:

akonadictl stop
rm -r ~/.local/share/akonadi
akonadictl start

Bye,
Volker
