Leyendo la información de estado... Hecho E: No se ha podido localizar el paquete plexmediaserver

but i get that error.

@thecarlosv Many thanks for your report.

Indeed I see /lib/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service is still present, which of course should have been removed when purging the package. We have to forward this to Plex devs and implement a workaround until it has been resolved upstream: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/commit/b0c23fbf209f48a77bb50b3a80d5b55c31b1f833

Please do the following:

systemctl unmask plexmediaserver
systemctl disable --now plexmediaserver
rm -R /lib/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service*

Thanks, it works!
