The server is running Jessie, the repository does not contain 2.48.
There appears to be no backport.
The client is running Stretch. Its repository does not contain anything
other than 2.48.

>From what I can see froom googling, there is an incompatibility in one
of the underlying libraries (ocaml?), which prevents Unison 2.48 being
built for Jessie, or Unison 2.40 being built for Stretch.

There doesn't appear to be an alternative for both jessie and stretch.
What a mess!
