Onedrive CLI client causes segmentation fault

[Kalle Tuulos]

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
onedrive:
  Installed: 1.1.20170919-2ubuntu2
  Candidate: 1.1.20170919-2ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 1.1.20170919-2ubuntu2 500
        500 http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What you expected to happen
I opened a new shell and typed "onedrive". It was supposed to synchronize my Onedrive directory, instead it just segfaulted.

4) What happened instead
user@machine:~$ onedrive
std.json.JSONException@../../../../src/libphobos/src/std/json.d(442): Key not found: lastModifiedDateTime

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Pablo (pyabo)]

Same issue here. Anyone found a workaround?

Note that the version of the onedrive package in Bionic and even in Focal is quite outdated.

Workaround:

With Xubuntu 20.04 in a corporate environment, I successfully use the package from Debian Sid which is frequently updated, usually a few days after new source code releases.

The disadvantage is that I do this manually by checking for updates, downloading the package, and installing like "sudo gdebi-gtk onedrive_2.4.9-1_amd64.deb" then "systemctl --user daemon-reload" and "systemctl --user restart onedrive".

Similarly I also had to manually install the dependency libphobos2 from Debian Sid.

https://packages.debian.org/sid/onedrive
https://packages.debian.org/sid/libphobos2-ldc-shared94

I often have network timeouts (with error messages sometimes hard to interpret) but this might be my personal problem. In general the software works fine and I'm thankful for this.
