[Bug 1868502] Re: Synchronization with earlier Ubuntu versions or a recent Debian version fails
Same here. Upgraded client to Focal, server is Bionic. Same version
numbers of unison, but the cryptic, misspelled message about
incompatible ocaml versions appears.
It would be nice to get this fixed, or at least hints about how to work
around the problem...

Title:
Synchronization with earlier Ubuntu versions or a recent Debian
version fails
Status in unison package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
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.
