Question: Whats going on?

I stopped the emby-server service before the update. I'm going to try restarting the system, but I don't expect that's going to solve a syntax error problem...

I'm receiving pretty much the same error via Update Manager in Mint 17.3 Cinnamon when trying to install 3.0.7100-71.1.

I have Emby version 3.0.7000.0 already installed. I stopped the service before starting the install of the new version - just FYI (just a habit).

Screen-shots of the errors attached.

I can confirm, I am also getting this same error when using apt-get dist-upgrade.
