Please arrange to move to the upstream SCL packages or to migrate to EL7 if you are using owncloud on EPEL6 - be aware when you do migrate off of this that it is important to follow the chain through 8.0->8.1->8.2 checking your installation at each step.

Following on from the above please be aware that OwnCloud 8.2.4 has just been submitted to stable in EPEL7
Before you apply this update is critical that the previous 8.1.6 update has been applied and fully tested.
