Error installing or removing 3.0.7100

Ubuntu 16.04

 

I get this when trying to upgrade from .7000 to .7100.  I'm also unable to uninstall emby-server/ 

 

Preparing to unpack .../emby-server_3.0.7100-71.1_all.deb ...

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.

Had that error today trying to upgrade as well, and that fixed it. Thanks, kjp4756.
