Fail to install jellyfin - Xna - 2025-07-11

Morning lads,
I was running a jellyfin server under :

Code:
No LSB modules are available.

Distributor ID: Ubuntu

Description:    Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS

Release:        24.04

Codename:      noble

My server is actually a vm running inside proxmox. Everything was working until a couple of days ago where i notice my vm was still up but jellyfin was not working.
When I checked the status in systemd I found this :

Code:
sudo systemctl status jellyfin.service

× jellyfin.service - Jellyfin Media Server

    Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/jellyfin.service; enabled; preset: enabled)

    Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/jellyfin.service.d

            └─jellyfin.service.conf

    Active: failed (Result: core-dump) since Tue 2025-07-08 22:47:53 CEST; 691ms ago

  Duration: 636ms

    Process: 2678 ExecStart=/usr/bin/jellyfin $JELLYFIN_WEB_OPT $JELLYFIN_FFMPEG_OPT $JELLYFIN_SERVICE_OPT $JELLYFIN_NOWEBAPP_OPT $JELLYFIN_ADDITIONAL_OPTS (code=dumped, signal=ABRT)

  Main PID: 2678 (code=dumped, signal=ABRT)

        CPU: 519ms

I was not able to find a way to fix this so I juste uninstall jellyfin using sudo apt remove jellyfin*.
Then I tried to reinstall it using this command :

curl -s https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash
But the script fail when it tries to run : apt install --yes jellyfin, telling me it's unable to locate jellyfin package.
So i also tried to install through .deb packages which seem to have worked, because the service is active inside systemd but actually nothing is happening. If i looking into the trafffic of the port i see nothing is going thourhg and i cannot connect it,
Any help welcome
Best regards

It seems I finally managed to solve the issue, for reason I don't get I had a foreign architecture installed with dpkg (arm64) and it seems that apt was seing two architecture and was trying to fetch the wrong one. Here's the ouput of my apt config :
pt-cache policy jellyfin jellyfin-server jellyfin-ffmpeg7 | head -20
jellyfin:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 10.10.7+ubu2404
Version table:
10.10.7+ubu2404 500

10.10.6+ubu2404 500

10.9.10+ubu2404 500

jellyfin-server:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: (none)
Version table:
10.10.7+ubu2004 -1
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
jellyfin-ffmpeg7:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: (none)
Version table:

I ran this :
dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
sudo dpkg --remove-architecture arm64
sudo sed -i 's/^Architectures:.*/Architectures: amd64/' \
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.sources
sudo dpkg --purge jellyfin jellyfin-server jellyfin-web \
jellyfin-ffmpeg5 jellyfin-ffmpeg6 jellyfin-ffmpeg7
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*jellyfin*
sudo apt update
sudo apt install jellyfin-ffmpeg7 jellyfin-server jellyfin-web

And it seems to be fixed now, I'm not sure what caused the issue in the first place
