Unbuntu wont upgrade past 10.9.11

[RichiRichEh]

I am about average at Linux but for some reason the jellyfin server I am running simply wont upgrade past 10.9.11. Below are the details of the dashboard:

Server version: 10.9.11
Web Version: 10.10.3
Build Version: 10.10.3

No matter what I do the server version will not upgrade. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.

Which Ubuntu release are you on? And can you share the output of "sudo apt upgrade jellyfin"?

Thank you for your reply.

Two items and two repsonses:

1. Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS

2. RE: the command " sudo apt upgrade jellyfin"

Output:

"Some packages could not be installed. This may mean you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution.....

the following packages have unmet dependencies: 

JellyFin: Depend: jellyfin-ffmpeg7 but is not going to be installed
E. Broken packages"

I follow what that means but sadly cannot find out why the packages are not being installed or why there is an error.

Code:

sudo apt remove jellyfin-ffmpeg6
sudo apt upgrade jellyfin

If you have jellyfin-ffmpeg5 instead of 6, change the remove command to "sudo apt remove jellyfin-ffmpeg5".

I think I may have got it. Strange as this error and issue has never cropped up.

1. Ran sudo apt install jellfin-ffmpeg7
then re-ran
2. sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Jellyfin is now updated.

Code:

sudo apt remove jellyfin-ffmpeg6
sudo apt upgrade jellyfin

If you have jellyfin-ffmpeg5 instead of 6, change the remove command to "sudo apt remove jellyfin-ffmpeg5".

The question I am surprised about is wouldn't ffmpeg force upgrade with the rest of the package? As it is a dependency?

Thank you for your assistance. I will remember to try the upgrade on just Jellyfin next time as it is clear it give me more details.

My understanding is that this is a quirk with how apt itself works.
