I'm not sure if this got through, apologies if you get it twice.
I have done some more research and there is a fix, you can upgrade the
Pi to 2.48. It is available in the testing repository, here is how you
install it -
Edit (or create) your /etc/apt/preferences to contain:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package: *
Pin: release o=Raspbian,a=stable
Pin-Priority: 500
Package: *
Pin: release o=Raspbian,a=testing
Pin-Priority: 300
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is important so you keep stable for all packages but the ones
explicitly taken from testing.
Then, add a line
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ testing main contrib
non-free rpi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
to /etc/apt/sources.list to get access to the Raspbian testing repository.
Do
sudo apt-get update
to read the package metadata, then check
sudo apt-cache policy
to confirm that the testing repo is there with priority 300. Then
sudo apt-get install -t testing unison
I can't claim to understand how it all works, but it does!
Cheers

Post by Kay Drangmeister ***@gmx.de [unison-users]Hi all,
Post by Adrian Klaver ***@aklaver.com [unison-users]I use Unison across different machines. My main server currently has
Unison 2.48 as do my desktop and laptop, however I have a few Raspberry
Pi's which have Unison 2.40 and so I cannot sync them with the server.
Have you tried?
Biggest issue that comes up here is different instances being compiled
with different versions so Ocaml, more then Unison version differences.
* Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial having unison 2.48 only
* Raspberry Raspian Jessie having unison 2.40 only
No way to sync, no way to upgrade Raspberry. The only solution I
found is to downgrade unison on Ubuntu to 2.40 each time I sync,
because unison gets upgraded to 2.48 again automatically on
each upgrade. :-(
# sudo dpkg --install ~/install/unison-gtk_2.40.102-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb
# sync-script.sh
# sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
which is really stupid.
I would really be grateful if anyone could support a current unison
for Raspian.
Thanks,
Kay
