Public bug reported:

Any synchronization I want to do with my server (Debian buster) fails
with the following message:

> Fatal error: Server: Fatal error during unmarshaling (input_value: ill-formed message),
> possibly because client and server have been compiled with differentversions of the OCaml compiler.

Indeed, buster uses OCaml 4.05.0, focal uses 4.08.1. eoan used 4.05.0,
as did the prior versions, including bionic, which all still synchronize
fine. The current Windows version also synchronizes with that version.

Although intentionally using an old software version for compatibility
is not a good thing, in this case it might be necessary. The whole point
of unison is its interoperability.
