I got Stuck during the installation of Jitsi in my server

Hello, I got stuck in the installation of Jitsi in my digitalocean server, the project when I tried to install jitsi-meet I use the following commands
sudo apt update
sudo apt install jitsi-meet
give me this output Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree… Done
Reading state information… Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
jitsi-meet-prosody : Depends: prosody (>= 0.11.7) or
prosody-trunk but it is not installable or
prosody-0.12 but it is not installable or
prosody-0.11 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I use the following OS
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 22.10
Release: 22.10
Codename: kinetic
I try to install directly prosody with sudo apt install prosody and give this error with the package
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
prosody : Depends: libicu70 (>= 70.1-1~) but it is not installable
Recommends: lua-readline but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: lua-unbound but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I check the dependency in Ubuntu – Details of package prosody in kinetic
say that the package prosody need libicu71

some here can help is a project for the school

Looks like you don’t have an up-to-date version of Prosody. Try updating Prosody to at least version 0.11.7 viz:

when I try to install prosody-0.11 gave me this output:

Reading package lists… Done

Building dependency tree… Done

Reading state information… Done

Package prosody-0.11 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

Running the sudo apt policy prosody I find this candidate prosody prosody:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 0.12.3-1~jammy1
Version table:
0.12.3-1~jammy1 500
500 Prosody IM Package Repository jammy/main amd64 Packages
0.12.1-1 500
500 Index of /ubuntu/ kinetic/universe amd64 Packages

That I already installed sudo apt list -a prosody

Listing… Done

prosody/unknown 0.12.3-1~jammy1 amd64
prosody/kinetic 0.12.1-1 amd64

by any chance some know if the update of the dependency of jitsi-meet any of this version support prosody 0.12.1.

As a quick solution you may install it on a Debian 11 Bullseye droplet. In this case you don’t need to add an additional sources.list for prosody. Prosody from the official repo will work.

You probably are missing steps from the quick install guide. For example this one “On Ubuntu systems, Jitsi requires dependencies from Ubuntu’s universe package repository. To ensure this is enabled, run this command:”
To have prosody 0.12… you need this step:

Follow the quick install guide, step by step.

Thank you I was able to install jitsi in Debian 11, the problem I had was that Ubuntu 22 have problem with the dependencies. Thank you much for your help
