I found a work around cd into your nextcloud updater dir /updater/ mine was

/var/www/nextcloud/updater/

then run

sudo -u www-data php updater.phar

[lars-becker]

Had the same problem. Updated manually via shell.

[slimshizn]

Able to move past with these commands.....
sudo -u abc php updater.phar inside of /config/www/nextcloud/updater
Running Docker container on Unraid.
After update in cli, select Y for occ upgrade
After finished select N when asked to keep maintenance mode active.

[AndyXheli]

Same issue from RC1 to RC2

also reported it here

https://help.nextcloud.com/t/sixth-beta-of-nextcloud-25/145306/17?u=andyxheli

[AndyXheli]

Looks like its been fixed in RC2. Please see post from below link

https://help.nextcloud.com/t/25-0-0rc2-24-0-6-23-0-10/146473

[AndyXheli]

@blizzz im on RC2 going to RC3 and still having this issue. i not you mentioned it should be fixed in RC2

[blizzz]

The issue with the forgotten .step file was fixed in RC3. I am actually not sure where this comes from, yet, but it definitely needs a fix. Would recommend the cli update as workaround, or follow the instructions.

[AndyXheli]

Okay, sounds good. Thanks for the update. We'll do the workaround for now. Until further notice.
