[SOLVED] Error mounting nextcloud/WebDAV as user after update

Hi,

after updating systemd to its current version 249.2 I can no longer mount as normal user a webdav file system described in /etc/fstab like

 https://__nextcloud-url__/remote.php/webdav/		/media/__user__/nextcloud		davfs	user,noauto 0 0 

via either bash or file manager (nemo), but instead get

/usr/bin/mount.davfs: can't read group data base

Mounting as root is still possible, but cannot use nextcloud credentials stored in user's .davfs2/secrets.

From what I can tell, no updated package other than systemd is involved in filesystem mounting.
I did not uninstall packages from the previously working setup, nor were any required files/paths removed or permissions changed.

Re: [SOLVED] Error mounting nextcloud/WebDAV as user after update

The bugs page above now has:

2021-08-05: A request to re-open the task has been made. Reason for request: /usr/bin/mount.davfs: user username must be member of group network Need to include two more commits

I am seeing that error also. I am a member of network. Root can mount successfully.
