Can not upgrade to 3.1.2 on Ubuntu 16.10

[markofealing 0]

I'm running Emby 3.0.7000.0 on Ubuntu 16.10 and it's telling me there is a new version 3.1.2 available. Using the stable release channel information for XUbuntu 16.10 I've tried to update but it is not picking up any updates!

 

As suggested elsewhere I've tried a apt update & upgrade followed by a dist-upgrade but this has made no difference.

 

At present neither my iPod Touch or iPad will access Emby as the Emby App complains the server needs updating as it is too old.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

Check your sources. The latest deb has already been published in our repos.

In my sources I've got

 

 

If I download the deb file and do a sudo dpkg -i emby-server_3.1.2-12.1_all.deb

 

I get

 

 

Presumably this is why it's not installing.

 

My Kubuntu 16.10 install is fully up to date, any idea why this is happening and how to fix it?

 

Many thanks

Searching on "error processing archive emby-server archive prerm: line 26"  https://www.google.co.uk/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=error+processing+archive+emby-server+archive+prerm%3A+line+26&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gfe_rd=cr&ei=AhRqWMH_O83U8gfw-Y2oAw this appears to be a a bug.

 

Forum post https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/38949-error-installing-or-removing-307100/ explains what needs to be done to fix it:

 

In /var/lib/dpkg/info/emby-server.prerm, line 26 reads:

 

deb-systemd-invoke stop ${NAME}.service > 2>&1 /dev/null

 

when it should be:

 

deb-systemd-invoke stop ${NAME}.service 2>&1 /dev/null

 

After making these changes I am able to upgrade.

 

This is what I had to do to fix the issue:

 

1. Make the above change to /var/lib/dpkg/info/emby-server.prerm

2. I then ran sudo dpkg -i emby-server_3.1.2-12.1_all.deb but ran into a dependency issue:

 

reparing to unpack emby-server_3.1.2-12.1_all.deb ...
Stopping Emby Server!

 emby-server depends on embymagick; however:
  Package embymagick is not installed.

3. Running sudo apt install -f straight after the failed install fixed the dependency issues and allowed the current version of Emby to install.

 

As a foot note I did notice that dpkg did throw out a downgrading warning "dpkg: warning: downgrading emby-server from 3.1.144~beta-70.1 to 3.1.2-12.1", not sure why it though I was downgrading from a beta!

 

Doing another update and a dist-upgrade didn't pull down any further updates and I'm now on Version 3.1.2.0.

 

It's a bit disappointing that this bug in /var/lib/dpkg/info/emby-server.prerm has not been fixed since September 2016.
