The following packages have unmet dependencies:

My jellyfin versions are:
Server version 10.10.7
Web version 10.11.0
Build version 10.11.0
And I am running Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS, and
uname -a returns Linux jellyfin 6.8.12-10-pve #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC PMX 6.8.12-10 (2025-04-18T07:39Z) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/LinuxThe missing dep, libicu70, is not considered installable on ubuntu noble (despite the install script supporting noble, as it defines
SUPPORTED_UBUNTU_RELEASES as including noble), as per [this](https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/icu/+question/818827) issue.How can I upgrade the server to be in line with the web and build versions?

Experiencing the same issue. Also on Ubuntu.

I had the same issue (only on debian 13.1 and with libicu72 not installable)
I fixed it by updating my jellyfin sources. I edited /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.sources to look like this
Code:
Types: deb
URIs: https://repo.jellyfin.org/debian
Suites: trixie
Components: main
Architectures: amd64
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/jellyfin.gpgI had to change Suites from bulseye to trixie.
Hope this helps.

I had the same issue. I did do a version upgrade recently and I had forgotten to update the jellyfin repo file from jammy -> noble. After updating the file I was able to run the update without issue.

Are you on Ubuntu or Debian?
My jellyfin.sources looks like:
Code:
Types: deb
URIs: https://repo.jellyfin.org/ubuntu
Suites: noble
Components: main
Architectures: amd64
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/jellyfin.gpgI think my version of Ubuntu (noble - 24.04) comes with libicu74, and Jellyfin needs libicu70.
Is libicu70 the latest debian supports? Maybe that's why the team deciding to stay on libicu70 and not upgrade. I don't think installing libicu70 would cause any issues, but I'm not too sure.
