Sorry, I thought it could be safely assumed I was using
apt-get install owncloud-client
> Of course none of those install owncloud.
Yes, thank you. Those were various proposed solutions from googling
about held broken packages. I never claimed they were supposed to
install owncloud, but possibly solve some underlying issue.

I'm not trying to install from backports, although
apt-get install -t wheezy-backports owncloud-client
gives the same results.

I actually added that as an attempt to solve the initial problem, which
still presents itself now that I have removed the file
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/owncloud.list entirely. I don't think the
problem has to do with the exact dependency, as that package does exist
with that version in the repo, but that libocsync0 does not exist.
