Description

The updater integration tests noticed one of the issues we had with the update from stable11 to stable12 on PHP 5.6: https://drone.nextcloud.com/nextcloud/updater/98/9

We should try to integrate them over here. Testing upgradability in the server repo is key and we should not forget about this, because we currently only test "fresh installs".

Research direction

Start by reviewing the updater integration tests referenced in the Drone scenario for the stable11-to-stable12 upgrade on PHP 5.6, then compare them with the server repository's current fresh-install tests. Done means the server repository covers upgrade scenarios as well as fresh installs, including the reported updater case.
