Description

The current information provided is not consistent:
"Installation cannot not be completed, because an Exception was thrown"
"Continue to nextcloud"

suggestion: it should read
"Installation of app dashboard cannot not be completed and will be disabled, because an Exception was thrown"

and yes - the following message is issued - but there is no contextual link to the 2 error messages
"Following apps have been disabled: dashboard (incompatible), ocr (incompatible)"
