This isn't an error. "jellyfin" is a metapackage that installs both "jellyfin-server" and "jellyfin-web", both of which are required for a functional Jellyfin install. Thus we encourage installing this metapackage to simply installs.
What is the actual error you had?
Please excuse the inconvenience then!
The error that I got after following the description up to sudo apt install jellyfin
is the following:
Package jellyfin is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
jellyfin-server
E: Package 'jellyfin' has no installation candidate
That is odd, are you trying to install stable or unstable? And what does the sources.list
file look like?
I was trying to install stable.
The sources.list
itself remained untouched but the jellyfin.list
in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
contains this line:
deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.jellyfin.org/ubuntu hirsute main
Thanks for confirming - it was an issue with the repo, hirsute was missing the metapackage. This has been corrected so it should work as expected now.
The package can now indeed be installed, thanks for resolving this and again sorry for suggesting the wrong fix!
Encountered this erroneous package name while trying to follow the description myself
