FFMPEG 5 error on install on Ubuntu Server - elmernite - 2024-04-27

I ran the command that is part of the install.
Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS

Code:
curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash

And everything looked good until I get this set of errors.

I haven't had any luck finding a solution for this.

Something is off with the jellyfin metapackage. Just installed 24.04 on my server and had to install stuff separately.

Code:
sudo apt install jellyfin-ffmpeg6
sudo apt install jellyfin-server


During the jellyfin-server install it will also pull in jellyfin-web.

Thanks, I was able to install it with those steps.
