"Parental Path structure needs to be created to support included file" - SOLVED

[ostreon01001111]

Once a week, onedrive would take 2-3 hours to sync vs. ~5 minutes (!).

I would sync on desktop, sync on laptop, then resume working on identical files on my laptop. Both use Ubuntu 24.04.

Files in onedrive log would display "Parental Path structure needs to be created to support included file" despite the file(s) already existing on my local machine (paths unchanged).

This was driving me crazy, so I looked all over for how to solve/fix this. What fixed it was upgrading from cURL 8.5.0 on Ubuntu 24.04 to cURL 8.14.1.

Now, all my syncs have executed successfully for ~2-3 weeks. I wanted to recommend manual update of cURL in case anyone else encounters the same problem, so it is documented somewhere.

This is also documented here:
