Nextcloud Documentation for Command Line Client mentions to use Ubuntu PPA for Debian but that does not work
In Nextcloud Client Manual at Nextcloud Command Line Client Install for "Ubuntu/Debian" it is described to:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nextcloud-devs/client but when I try that and want to install nextcloud-client, I see following errors.
According to a question on Unix & Linux Stack Exchange is zst compression not supported by apt/dpkg.
It is advised not to use Ubuntu PPA with Debian.
EDIT: There is a package nextcloud-desktop-cmd in debian repository, so this should be used instead the Ubuntu PPA.

Thank you for the pointer, according to that thread at least dpkg version 1.15.6 is needed. I tried to install nextcloud-client using Debian/testing (actually v12 bookworm) and here dpkg is at version 1.21.9. So the newer version does not help, maybe zstd is not supported here (yet?).
